Eigenstates in finite systems such as nuclei, atoms, atomic clusters and quantum dots with few excited particles are chaotic superpositions of shell model basis states. We study criterion for the equilibrium distribution of basis components…
Broad resonances challenge the standard Monte-Carlo treatment of unstable particles, which introduces a Breit-Wigner width into leading-order matrix elements and can generate unphysical gauge artifacts. We develop a gauge-consistent…
