一个从第一性原理出发的核晶格有效场论研究再现了11Be的奇偶性颠倒和晕结构,分析内在密度和带有价电子中子在σ型轨道中的两簇几何。

ABSTRACT

We present an ab initio study of the one-neutron halo nucleus $^{11}$Be using nuclear lattice effective field theory with high-fidelity chiral interactions at N3LO. By employing the wavefunction matching method to mitigate the sign problem and the pinhole algorithm to sample many-body correlations, we successfully reproduce the ground-state parity inversion and the extended matter radius characteristic of the halo structure. We analyze the intrinsic density distributions and geometric shapes of $^{11}$Be in comparison with the core nucleus $^{10}$Be. Our results reveal a prominent two-cluster structure in both nuclei and the occupation of the $σ$ molecular orbital by the valence neutron in $^{11}$Be. It enhances the prolate deformation as well as the diffuse neutron tail, distinct from the $π$-orbital occupation observed in the $^{10}$Be ground state.

研究动机与目标

  • 证明使用N3LO手征相互作用的NLEFT能够再现11Be的基态奇偶性颠倒。
  • 通过计算内在密度分布与径向剖面来量化晕特征。
  • 将11Be的密度与核心10Be进行比较,以确定价电子中子在晕形成中的作用。

提出的方法

  • 使用具有高保真度的N3LO χEFT哈密顿量的核晶格有效场理论。
  • 应用波函数匹配(WFM)以缓解蒙特卡洛符号问题。
  • 采用针孔算法抽取多体密度并提取内在密度分布。
  • 通过对未扰动采样贡献的微扰修正来计算观测量。
  • 将A类核子分成两个接近的簇并通过旋转平均分析内在密度,以揭示两簇结构。

实验结果

研究问题

  • RQ1NLEFT结合N3LO相互作用是否能够再现11Be已知的奇偶性颠倒?
  • RQ211Be与10Be相比的内在密度分布与几何形状如何,价中子对晕形成有何贡献?
  • RQ3价中子占据σ轨道是否驱动观察到的准圆柱形变和延伸的中子密度?
  • RQ4簇结构与价中子相关性如何在基态密度与径向分布中体现?

主要发现

  • NLEFT计算再现了11Be的基态奇偶性颠倒,并且与实验半径和结合趋势一致。
  • 11Be显示出明显的晕,与10Be相比具有更扩展的物质密度,符合中子尾部更为弥散的特征。
  • 内在三维密度分布揭示两簇结构在两种核中都很突出,11Be的晕来自价中子占据σ型轨道。
  • 11Be中的价中子通过σ轨道占据增强了准圆柱形变并增加了中心密度,与10Be中中子占据π轨道不同。
  • 径向密度分析表明,在较大半径处11Be的晕密度主要由价中子贡献,符合|E|≈1.9 MeV作为晕能量尺度。
  • 通过针孔采样量化的两簇图景与晕特征支持将11Be结构理解为分子样的描述。
