1. Research goal & achievements (after coming to RIKEN)
Goal: A microscopic approach that can be applied to describe a wider range of nuclei
(light, medium, heavy, neutron-rich) under various conditions (cold, hot, rotating).
Study: Improving to enlarge the applicability of the well-known many-body methods
within and beyond the mean field (BCS, RPA, coupling to 2p2h)
: (with A. Arima, T. Suzuki of Nihon Univ, and S. Yamaji) Quenching of
Gamow - Teller resonance: Successfully described the high lying tail of the GTR in the
RCNP experiments with Nb90.
1998: (with A. Arima) Proposed the Phonon Damping Model (PDM) to describe the
temperature dependence of the GDR width
: (with A, Arima, V. Kim Au, K. Tanabe of Saitama Univ, and M. Thoennessen
of MSU) used the PDM to successfully describe the experimental systematics of
the damping of GDR
the EM cross section of the DGDR in the Coulomb excitation.
: (with V. Zelevinsky of MSU, and A. Arima)
Proposed the Modified BCS and Modified HFB theories to describe the thermal pairing in nuclei.
Showed that pairing leads to the constant width of the GDR in tin isotopes at T < 1 MeV, successfully described the data of inelastic scattering of alpha particle on nuclei.
: (with A. Arima and K. Tanabe)
Tested the MBCS theory
Tested the ppSCRPA
Proposed a nonperturbative extension of SCRPA to finite T
: (with N. Quang Hung - RIKEN APA )
Proposed and developed the SCQRPA theory
Extended the SCQRPA theory to finite T and M
Proposed an improved formula to calculate the pairing gap from the odd-even mass difference.
The SCQRPA predictions with PNP agree well with the exact solutions.
Proposed a novel method to embed the SCQRPA solutions in the CE, which gives results in good agreement with the exact solutions, but also at large particle numbers, where the exact solutions are not possible.
N. Quang Hung got his PhD in 2009.
