Solution of the center-of-mass problem in nuclear structure calculations

Nuclear Theory 2009-09-02 v1

Abstract

The coupled-cluster wave function factorizes to a very good approximation into a product of an intrinsic wave function and a Gaussian for the center-of-mass coordinate. The width of the Gaussian is in general not identical to the oscillator length of the underlying single-particle basis. The quality of the separation can be verified by a simple procedure.
