Abstract

We analyze the properties of the scattering solutions obtained as the pole of the S- and K-matrix with the help of the Jost function framework and the Strum-Liouville theory within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) framework, and clarify the scattering solutions which can be defined as the physical state. We found that there are three types of the resonances; “shape resonance”, “particle-type” and “hole-type quasiparticle resonances”, and another two types of solutions are given as the independent S-matrix and K-matrix poles. The shape resonance is formed by the Hartree-Fock(HF) mean field potential, is not affected by the pairing correlation so much. The particle-type and hole-type quasiparticle resonances originate from the particle and hole states by the configuration mixing effect by pairing. All of resonance are represented by the S-matrix pole which has the corresponding K-matrix pole. Two other types of solutions are given by the independent S-matrix and K-matrix poles. These poles are formed by the HF mean field potential. The effect of pairing for the independent S-matrix pole is small, but the one for the independent K-matrix pole has the remarkable effect. The independent K-matrix pole destroys the quasiparticle resonance as it approaches to the resonance by the pairing effect. The wave function of all resonances have the characteristic structure of the metastable property. However, the metastable structure of the wave function of the quasiparticle resonance can be broken by the independent standing wave solution or the Fano effect.

I Introduction

Many sharp resonance peaks at the low energy region of the neutron elastic cross section is one of the most important characteristic of nuclei. Those peaks have been analyzed by the resonance formula derived from the R-matrix theory rmatrix . Resonance parameters have been used for the widely purposes, such as the nuclear power technology, radiation therapy and so on. However, it is difficult to understand the physics of resonance from the resonance parameters because the R-matrix theory is phenomenological theory, there is no clear interpretation of physics for each parameters. In addition, there are several types of the resonance formula which has the different interpretation in physics rmatrix1 ; rmatrix2 , although all of those are consistent with the Feshbach projection theory  feshbach . As a consequence of the R-matrix and Feshbach projection theory, the coupling of channels has the crucial role of the production of the sharp resonance peaks. Recently, the continuum particle-vibration coupling method succeeded to reproduce the some of sharp resonances, and it was shown that those peaks originate from the coupling between an in-coming neutron and the collective excitation (especially the giant resonances) of target nucleus mizuyama .

The Jost function jost may be the appropriate method to understand the physics of the resonance because the Jost function is calculated by the wave function and potential to represent the appropriate boundary condition for a regular solution of the Schrodinger equation so as to connect the regular and irregular solutions, and the zeros of the Jost function on the complex energy plane represent the poles of the S-matrix corresponding to the bound states and resonances. However, the single channel has been supposed in the original Jost function. The extension of the Jost function is necessary so as to take into account the channels coupling. As a first step of the extension of the Jost function, we have extended the Jost function within the HFB formalism jost-hfb . In a broad sense, the HFB formalism is also the channel coupling formalism for two channels, because the pairing correlation causes the mixing of the particle and hole configurations.

The pairing correlation is one of the most important correlation to describe not only the fundamental properties but also the many of varieties of interesting phenomena of open-shell nuclei. The roles of the pairing correlation have been discussed for a long time on the ground state and excited states of open-shell nuclei. The important roles of pairing correlation for the exotic structure and dynamics of the neutron-rich nuclei were also revealed such as the two neutron halo 2nhalo ; 2nhalo2 , di-neutron dhalo , anti-halo effect antihalo ; antihalo2 ; antihalo3 , pair rotation pairrot and so on, in the last decades. Observation of those phenomena by nuclear reaction is one of the most important issue. The importance of the pairing correlation in the two neutron transfer reaction has been discussed 2ntransfer . Very recently, it was shown that the quasiparticle resonance may be possible to be found as a sharp peak of the neutron elastic scattering cross section off the open-shell nucleus within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory kobayashi ; jost-hfb .

In Figs.9 and 11 of jost-hfb , we have shown the trajectories of the S-matrix poles to show the dependence on the mean value of the pairing for the stable and neutron-rich unstable nuclei. The S-matrix poles have been classified into two types; the “hole-type” and “particle-type” poles of quasiparticle resonances. The quasiparticle resonance originates from the HF single particle or hole state due to the particle and hole configuration mixing by the pairing correlation. The pairing effect on the “hole-type” resonance and the interference effect with continuum have been discussed in terms of the Fano effect jost-fano .

The shape resonance shaperes is one of the well-known type resonance. As is written in many textbook of the quantum physics, a shape resonance is a metastable state in which a nucleon is trapped due to the shape of the centrifugal barrier of the mean field potential of the target nucleus. The wave function of the internal region is connected to the one of the external region through the tunneling effect. The shape resonance is not affected by the occupation of the nucleons in the potential (i.e. no dependence on the Fermi energy). The overall shape of the neutron elastic cross section is mainly determined by those shape resonances.

At first, we thought all of S-matrix poles which are found within the HFB framework can be classified in “particle-type” or “hole-type”. However, in jost-hfb , we noticed that some poles have different type of the dependence on the pairing from neither “particle-type” nor “hole-type” poles. This may imply that we need further classification for the S-matrix poles. In this paper, we shall, therefore, try to classify the S-matrix poles and discuss the pairing dependence on each types of poles.

In order to discuss the classification of resonances, firstly we shall review the scattering theory which relevant with the discussion points of this paper in Sec.II. In Sec.III, we discuss the classification of resonances and properties based on the numerical results. Finally, we draw the sumarry of this paper in Sec.IV.

II Theory

In the scattering system of the physics, there are three kinds of quantities, the S-, T- and K-matrix newton ; leonard . As is well known, the S-matrix is the unitary matrix which connects asymptotically sets of the free particle states in the Hilbert space of the physical states, such as the bound states, virtual states and resonances. The physical states are represented as the poles of the S-matrix on the complex energy plane. The T-matrix is a quantity which is directly connected with the cross section. The K-matrix is defined as the Hermite matrix. All of those quantities are related each other, and it has been believed that all of those quantities have the same information but different mathematical properties.

However, it is possible to show that the K-matrix has the poles on the real axis of the energy, and those poles are the Sturm-Liouville eigen values. In  sasakawa , the resonances were defined by the Sturm-Lioville eigen values, but the poles of the S-matrix and K-matrix are slightly different. We shall explain it in this section.

II.1 K-matrix and Sturm-Liouville eigen value

The purpose of this subsection is to show that the K-matrix poles are the Sturm-Liouville eigen value. For simplicity, we start the discussion within the Hartree-Fock (HF) framework ignoring the pairing. The pairing effect is discussed in the latter section.

Within the HF framework, the Lippmann-Schwinger equation is given by

ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r;\epsilon) =\displaystyle= Fl(kr)\displaystyle F_{l}(kr)
+0𝑑rGF,l(+)(r,r;k)Ulj(r)ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle+\int_{0}^{\infty}dr^{\prime}G_{F,l}^{(+)}(r,r^{\prime};k)U_{lj}(r^{\prime})\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r^{\prime};\epsilon)

with the HF potential UljU_{lj}, where ϵ\epsilon is the incident energy (ϵ=2k22m\epsilon=\frac{\hbar^{2}k^{2}}{2m}) and GF,lj(r,r;ϵ)G_{F,lj}(r,r^{\prime};\epsilon) is the free particle Green’s function defined by

GF,l(±)(r,r;k)\displaystyle G_{F,l}^{(\pm)}(r,r^{\prime};k) \displaystyle\equiv i2mk2[θ(rr)Fl(kr)Ol(±)(kr)\displaystyle\mp i\frac{2mk}{\hbar^{2}}\left[\theta(r-r^{\prime})F_{l}(kr^{\prime})O^{(\pm)}_{l}(kr)\right. (2)
+θ(rr)Fl(kr)Ol(±)(kr)].\displaystyle+\left.\theta(r^{\prime}-r)F_{l}(kr)O^{(\pm)}_{l}(kr^{\prime})\right].

With the scaled riccati-spherical Bessel functions defined by Fl(kr)=rjl(kr)F_{l}(kr)=rj_{l}(kr) and Ol(±)(kr)=rhl(±)(kr)O^{(\pm)}_{l}(kr)=rh_{l}^{(\pm)}(kr).

It should be noted that ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r;\epsilon) is defined by

ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)=ulj(r;ϵ)J0,lj(+)(ϵ),\displaystyle\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r;\epsilon)=\frac{u_{lj}(r;\epsilon)}{J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}, (3)

where ulj(r;ϵ)u_{lj}(r;\epsilon) is the regular solution of the HF equation for a given energy ϵ\epsilon.

J0,lj(+)(ϵ)J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon) is the HF Jost function. There are three types of the expressions of the Jost function as following.

J0,lj(±)(ϵ)\displaystyle J_{0,lj}^{(\pm)}(\epsilon) =\displaystyle= 1ki2m2𝑑rOl(±)Ulj(r)ulj(r;ϵ)\displaystyle 1\mp\frac{k}{i}\frac{2m}{\hbar^{2}}\int drO_{l}^{(\pm)}U_{lj}(r)u_{lj}(r;\epsilon) (4)
=\displaystyle= 1ki2m2𝑑rFl(±)Ulj(r)vlj(±)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle 1\mp\frac{k}{i}\frac{2m}{\hbar^{2}}\int drF_{l}^{(\pm)}U_{lj}(r)v^{(\pm)}_{lj}(r;\epsilon) (5)
=\displaystyle= ±kiWlj(u,v(±)).\displaystyle\pm\frac{k}{i}W_{lj}(u,v^{(\pm)}). (6)

where vlj(±)(r;ϵ)v^{(\pm)}_{lj}(r;\epsilon) is the HF irregular solution which satisfies the asymptotic boundary condition limrvlj(±)(r;ϵ)Ol(±)(kr)\lim_{r\to\infty}v^{(\pm)}_{lj}(r;\epsilon)\to O^{(\pm)}_{l}(kr), and Wlj(u,v(±))W_{lj}(u,v^{(\pm)}) is the Wronskian.

The S-matrix is defined as

Slj(0)(ϵ)J0,lj()(ϵ)J0,lj(+)(ϵ),\displaystyle S_{lj}^{(0)}(\epsilon)\equiv\frac{J_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)}{J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}, (7)

and the S-matrix pole ϵR0\epsilon_{R}^{0} is given by

J0,lj(+)(ϵR0)=0.\displaystyle J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon_{R}^{0})=0. (8)

It is, therefore, clear that Eq.(LABEL:LSHF) can be rewritten as

ulj(r;ϵR0)\displaystyle u_{lj}(r;\epsilon_{R}^{0}) =\displaystyle= 0𝑑rGF,l(+)(r,r;kR)Ulj(r)ulj(r;ϵR0)\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\infty}dr^{\prime}G_{F,l}^{(+)}(r,r^{\prime};k_{R})U_{lj}(r^{\prime})u_{lj}(r^{\prime};\epsilon_{R}^{0}) (9)

for ϵ=ϵR0\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0}.

By introducing the standing wave Green’s function PGF,lPG_{F,l} defined by

GF,l(±)(r,r;k)\displaystyle G_{F,l}^{(\pm)}(r,r^{\prime};k) =\displaystyle= PGF,l(r,r;k)\displaystyle PG_{F,l}(r,r^{\prime};k) (10)
i2mk2Fl(kr)Fl(kr),\displaystyle\mp i\frac{2mk}{\hbar^{2}}F_{l}(kr)F_{l}(kr^{\prime}),

Eq.(LABEL:LSHF) can be rewritten as

ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r;\epsilon) =\displaystyle= (1iTlj(0)(ϵ))Fl(kr)\displaystyle\left(1-iT^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon)\right)F_{l}(kr)
+0𝑑rPGF,l(r,r;k)Ulj(r)ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle+\int_{0}^{\infty}dr^{\prime}PG_{F,l}(r,r^{\prime};k)U_{lj}(r^{\prime})\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r^{\prime};\epsilon)

where Tlj(0)T^{(0)}_{lj} is the T-matrix within the HF framework which can be calculated by

Tlj(0)(ϵ)\displaystyle T^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon) =\displaystyle= 2mk20𝑑rFl(kr)Ulj(r)ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle\frac{2mk}{\hbar^{2}}\int_{0}^{\infty}drF_{l}(kr)U_{lj}(r)\psi^{(+)}_{0,lj}(r;\epsilon) (12)

The K-matrix Klj(0)K_{lj}^{(0)} is expressed by the T-matrix Tlj(0)T^{(0)}_{lj} as

Klj(0)(ϵ)\displaystyle K_{lj}^{(0)}(\epsilon) =\displaystyle= Tlj(0)(ϵ)1iTlj(0)(ϵ),\displaystyle\frac{T^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon)}{1-iT^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon)}, (13)

and the standing wave function ψ0,lj(S)(r;ϵ)\psi_{0,lj}^{(S)}(r;\epsilon) is defined by

ψ0,lj(S)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle\psi_{0,lj}^{(S)}(r;\epsilon) \displaystyle\equiv (1+iKlj(0)(ϵ))ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle\left(1+iK_{lj}^{(0)}(\epsilon)\right)\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r;\epsilon) (14)
\displaystyle\equiv 11iTlj(0)(ϵ)ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle\frac{1}{1-iT_{lj}^{(0)}(\epsilon)}\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r;\epsilon) (15)

Eq.(LABEL:LSHF2) can be rewritten as

ψ0,lj(S)(r;ϵ)\displaystyle\psi_{0,lj}^{(S)}(r;\epsilon) =\displaystyle= Fl(kr)\displaystyle F_{l}(kr)
+0𝑑rPGF,l(r,r;k)Ulj(r)ψ0,lj(S)(r;ϵ).\displaystyle+\int_{0}^{\infty}dr^{\prime}PG_{F,l}(r,r^{\prime};k)U_{lj}(r^{\prime})\psi_{0,lj}^{(S)}(r^{\prime};\epsilon).

If there is an energy ϵn0\epsilon_{n}^{0} which is given by

1iTlj(0)(ϵn0)=0,\displaystyle 1-iT^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon_{n}^{0})=0, (17)

then Eq.(LABEL:LSHF3) can be rewritten as

ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵn0)\displaystyle\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r;\epsilon_{n}^{0}) =\displaystyle= 0𝑑rPGF,l(r,r;kn0)Ulj(r)ψ0,lj(+)(r;ϵn0).\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\infty}dr^{\prime}PG_{F,l}(r,r^{\prime};k_{n}^{0})U_{lj}(r^{\prime})\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(r^{\prime};\epsilon_{n}^{0}).

using Eq.(15), also ϵn0\epsilon_{n}^{0} is a pole of the K-matrix by Eq.(13). Eq.(17) can be represented by using the Jost function as

J0,lj(+)(ϵn0)+J0,lj()(ϵn0)=0.\displaystyle J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon_{n}^{0})+J_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon_{n}^{0})=0. (19)

because the K-matrix can be represented by using the Jost function as

Klj(0)(ϵ)=i(J0,lj()(ϵ)J0,lj(+)(ϵ)J0,lj()(ϵ)+J0,lj(+)(ϵ))\displaystyle K_{lj}^{(0)}(\epsilon)=i\left(\frac{J_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)-J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}{J_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)+J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}\right) (20)

It can be proved that the Jost function has a symmetric property J0,lj()(ϵ)=J0,lj(+)(ϵ)J_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)=J_{0,lj}^{(+)*}(\epsilon^{*}). This requires ϵn0\epsilon_{n}^{0} to be a real number.

The Sturm-Liouville theory is the theory of the second-order differential equations of the form:

r[p(r)ϕ^(r)r]+q(r)ϕ^(r)=νw(r)ϕ^(r),\displaystyle\frac{\partial}{\partial r}\left[p(r)\frac{\partial\hat{\phi}(r)}{\partial r}\right]+q(r)\hat{\phi}(r)=-\nu w(r)\hat{\phi}(r), (21)

where p(r)p(r), q(r)q(r) and w(r)w(r) are positive definite coefficient functions. For the HF equation, the coefficient functions are given by

p(r)\displaystyle p(r) =\displaystyle= 22m\displaystyle\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m} (22)
q(r)\displaystyle q(r) =\displaystyle= ϵ2l(l+1)2mr2\displaystyle\epsilon-\frac{\hbar^{2}l(l+1)}{2mr^{2}} (23)
w(r)\displaystyle w(r) =\displaystyle= Ulj(r),\displaystyle-U_{lj}(r), (24)

when ϵ>0\epsilon>0. ν\nu is called the eigen value of the Sturm-Liouville equation. According to the Sturm-Liouville theory, there are infinite number of real eigenvalues νn\nu_{n} which can be numbered so that ν1<ν2<ν\nu_{1}<\nu_{2}<\cdots\nu_{\infty} (Mercer’s theorem Mercer ). An eigen function ϕ^n,lj(r)\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r) has n1n-1 nodes inside the potential. Note that the orthogonality of ϕ^n,lj\hat{\phi}_{n,lj} is given by

0𝑑rϕ^m,lj(r)w(r)ϕ^n,lj(r)=δmn.\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\infty}dr\hat{\phi}_{m,lj}(r)w(r)\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r)=\delta_{mn}. (25)

Completeness is given by

n=1w(r)ϕ^n,lj(r)ϕ^n,lj(r)\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}w(r)\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r)\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r^{\prime})
=n=1ϕ^n,lj(r)ϕ^n,lj(r)w(r)\displaystyle=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r)\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r^{\prime})w(r^{\prime})
=δ(rr).\displaystyle=\delta(r-r^{\prime}). (26)

The eigensolution ϕ^n,lj\hat{\phi}_{n,lj} satisfies

ϕ^n,lj(r)\displaystyle\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r)
=0𝑑rPGF,l(r,r;k)νnUlj(r)ϕ^n,lj(r).\displaystyle=\int_{0}^{\infty}dr^{\prime}PG_{F,l}(r,r^{\prime};k)\nu_{n}U_{lj}(r^{\prime})\hat{\phi}_{n,lj}(r^{\prime}). (27)

If we suppose that there is an eigen value which satisfies νn(ϵ=ϵn0)=1\nu_{n}(\epsilon=\epsilon^{0}_{n})=1, it is very easy to notice that Eq.(LABEL:LSHF3-en) and Eq.(27) are equivalent.

Therefore, the K-matrix pole has the physical meaning as the standing wave eigen solution of the Sturm-Liouville eigen value problem, and it is slightly different from the S-matrix pole. Because the condition for S-matrix pole(Eq.(8)) is not required to have the condition for the K-matrix pole (Eq.(19)). Eqs.(8) and (19) are independent each other. This implies that the S-matrix pole and K-matrix pole may have the different properties.

II.2 S-, T- and K-matrix within the HFB framework

In order to discuss the paring dependence of poles of the S- and K-matrix, it is necessary to introduce the definition of the S- and K-matrix which are described within the HFB framework. In this section, we shall derive the definition of the K-matrix with the help of the HFB Jost function.

By using the HFB Jost function, the S-matrix is expressed as

Slj(E)=s=1,2(𝒥lj(+)(E))1s1(𝒥lj()(E))s1\displaystyle S_{lj}(E)=\sum_{s=1,2}\left(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E)\right)^{-1}_{1s}\left(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(-)}(E)\right)_{s1}
=(𝒥lj(+)(E))22(𝒥lj()(E))11(𝒥lj(+)(E))12(𝒥lj()(E))21(𝒥lj(+)(E))22(𝒥lj(+)(E))11(𝒥lj(+)(E))12(𝒥lj(+)(E))21\displaystyle=\frac{(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{22}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(-)}(E))_{11}-(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{12}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(-)}(E))_{21}}{(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{22}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{11}-(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{12}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{21}}
=det𝒥lj(+)(E)det𝒥lj(+)(E)\displaystyle=\frac{\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)*}(E^{*})}{\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E)} (28)

where EE is the complex quasiparticle energy. The incident energy ϵ\epsilon and the quasiparticle energy EE are related as

ϵ=λ+E\displaystyle\epsilon=\lambda+E (29)

where λ(<0)\lambda(<0) is the chemical potential (Fermi energy) given in the HFB framework.

The denominator of Eq.(28) is the determinant of the HFB Jost function, i.e.

det𝒥lj(+)(E)\displaystyle\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E)
=(𝒥lj(+)(E))22(𝒥lj(+)(E))11(𝒥lj(+)(E))12(𝒥lj(+)(E))21.\displaystyle=(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{22}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{11}-(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{12}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{21}.

and the numerator is also expressed as

det𝒥lj(+)(E)\displaystyle\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)*}(E^{*})
=(𝒥lj(+)(E))22(𝒥lj()(E))11(𝒥lj(+)(E))12(𝒥lj()(E))21\displaystyle=(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{22}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(-)}(E))_{11}-(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E))_{12}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(-)}(E))_{21}

due to the symmetric properties of the HFB Jost function given by

(𝒥lj(±)(E))11\displaystyle(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\pm)*}(E^{*}))_{11} =\displaystyle= (𝒥lj()(E))11\displaystyle(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\mp)}(E))_{11} (32)
(𝒥lj(±)(E))12\displaystyle(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\pm)*}(E^{*}))_{12} =\displaystyle= ()l(𝒥lj(±)(E))12\displaystyle(-)^{l}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\pm)}(E))_{12} (33)
(𝒥lj(±)(E))21\displaystyle(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\pm)*}(E^{*}))_{21} =\displaystyle= ()l(𝒥lj()(E))21\displaystyle(-)^{l}(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\mp)}(E))_{21} (34)
(𝒥lj(±)(E))22\displaystyle(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\pm)*}(E^{*}))_{22} =\displaystyle= (𝒥lj(±)(E))22\displaystyle(\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(\pm)}(E))_{22} (35)

The S-matrix pole ERE_{R} is determined by

det𝒥lj(+)(ER)=0.\displaystyle\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E_{R})=0. (36)

The T-matrix is given by

Tlj(E)\displaystyle T_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= i2(Slj(E)1)\displaystyle\frac{i}{2}\left(S_{lj}(E)-1\right) (37)
=\displaystyle= i2(det𝒥lj(+)(E)det𝒥lj(+)(E)det𝒥lj(+)(E)),\displaystyle\frac{i}{2}\left(\frac{\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)*}(E^{*})-\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E)}{\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E)}\right), (38)

and the K-matrix is

Klj(E)\displaystyle K_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= Tlj(E)1iTlj(E)\displaystyle\frac{T_{lj}(E)}{1-iT_{lj}(E)} (39)
=\displaystyle= i(det𝒥lj(+)(E)det𝒥lj(+)(E)det𝒥lj(+)(E)+det𝒥lj(+)(E))\displaystyle i\left(\frac{\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)*}(E^{*})-\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E)}{\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)*}(E^{*})+\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E)}\right) (40)

The K-matrix pole EnE_{n} is determined by

det𝒥lj(+)(En)+det𝒥lj(+)(En)=0.\displaystyle\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)*}(E_{n})+\det\mathcal{J}_{lj}^{(+)}(E_{n})=0. (41)

In order to analyze the pairing effect, the two potential formula may be useful. Here, we shall derive the two potential formula for the K-matrix. As is introduced in jost-fano , the S-matrix and T-matrix can be divided into the HF and pairing parts as

Slj(E)\displaystyle S_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= Slj(0)(E)Slj(1)(E)\displaystyle S^{(0)}_{lj}(E)S^{(1)}_{lj}(E) (42)
Tlj(E)\displaystyle T_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= Tlj(0)(E)+Tlj(1)(E)Slj(0)(E)\displaystyle T^{(0)}_{lj}(E)+T^{(1)}_{lj}(E)S^{(0)}_{lj}(E) (43)

By inserting Eq.(43) into Eq.(39), we obtain

Klj(E)\displaystyle K_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= Klj(0)(E)+Klj(1)(E)1Klj(0)(E)Klj(1)(E)\displaystyle\frac{K^{(0)}_{lj}(E)+K^{(1)}_{lj}(E)}{1-K^{(0)}_{lj}(E)K^{(1)}_{lj}(E)} (44)

with

Klj(0)(E)\displaystyle K^{(0)}_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= Tlj(0)(E)1iTlj(0)(E)\displaystyle\frac{T^{(0)}_{lj}(E)}{1-iT^{(0)}_{lj}(E)} (45)
Klj(1)(E)\displaystyle K^{(1)}_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= Tlj(1)(E)1iTlj(1)(E).\displaystyle\frac{T^{(1)}_{lj}(E)}{1-iT^{(1)}_{lj}(E)}. (46)

III Numerical results

In this paper, we adopt the same Woods-Saxon parameters for the numerical calculation as in jost-hfb . The chemical potential λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV for the stable nucleus and λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV for the unstable nucleus are adopted unless specifically mentioned.

III.1 Classification of scattering solutions without pairing

As shown in jost-hfb , we can find that the partial cross section for s1/2s_{1/2}, p1/2p_{1/2}, p3/2p_{3/2}, d5/2d_{5/2}, f5/2f_{5/2} and g9/2g_{9/2} have the contribution for the total cross section of the neutron elastic scattering at the zero pairing limit (Δ=0\langle\Delta\rangle=0 MeV).

In Figs.1-3, we show the square of the T-matrix |Tlj(0)|2|T^{(0)}_{lj}|^{2} in the panel (a), this is a quantity which is directly related with the partial component of the cross section. The inverse of the K-matrix is shown in the panel (b) in order to check the existence of the K-matrix pole on the real axis of the incident energy. In panel (c), the phase shift which is determined by the S-matrix as Slj(0)=e2iδlj0S_{lj}^{(0)}=e^{2i\delta^{0}_{lj}} is plotted as a function of the incident neutron energy ϵ\epsilon. The square of the Jost function |J0,lj(ϵ)|2|J_{0,lj}(\epsilon)|^{2} are shown on the complex-ϵ\epsilon plane in order to show the S-matrix pole.

In Fig.1, a peak of |Tlj(0)|2|T^{(0)}_{lj}|^{2} is found at ϵn0=7.81\epsilon^{0}_{n}=7.81 MeV for f5/2f_{5/2}, ϵn0=9.48\epsilon^{0}_{n}=9.48 MeV for g9/2g_{9/2}, respectively. The energy of peak is located at the energy which satisfies 1/Klj(0)(ϵn0)=01/K^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon^{0}_{n})=0. At ϵ=ϵn0\epsilon=\epsilon^{0}_{n}, the phase shift is obviously δ0=π2\delta_{0}=\frac{\pi}{2} by definition. In the panel (d), we can find the S-matrix pole at ϵR0=6.75i1.63\epsilon_{R}^{0}=6.75-i1.63 MeV for f5/2f_{5/2} and ϵR0=9.06i1.14\epsilon_{R}^{0}=9.06-i1.14 MeV for g9/2g_{9/2}, respectively. However, ϵn\epsilon_{n} is slightly different from different from the real part of the S-matrix pole ϵR0,r\epsilon^{0,r}_{R}.

Figure 3: (Color online) The same as Fig.1 but for s1/2s_{1/2} and p3/2p_{3/2}.

When there is a S-matrix pole, J0,lj(+)(ϵ)J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon) is expressed by the first order Taylor expansion around ϵ=ϵR0\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0} as

J0,lj(+)(ϵ)(ϵϵR0)dJ0,lj(+)(ϵ)dϵ|ϵ=ϵR0\displaystyle J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)\sim(\epsilon-\epsilon_{R}^{0})\left.\frac{dJ_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0}} (47)

where ϵR0=ϵR0,riϵR0,i\epsilon_{R}^{0}=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}-i\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}. ϵR0,i\epsilon_{R}^{0,i} is necessary to be small for this approximation.

The S-matrix is also approximately expressed as

Slj(0)(ϵ)\displaystyle S^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon) =\displaystyle= J0,lj()(ϵ)J0,lj(+)(ϵ)(ϵϵR0)dJ0,lj()(ϵ)dϵ|ϵ=ϵR0(ϵϵR0)dJ0,lj(+)(ϵ)dϵ|ϵ=ϵR0\displaystyle\frac{J_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)}{J_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}\sim\frac{(\epsilon-\epsilon_{R}^{0*})\left.\frac{dJ_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0*}}}{(\epsilon-\epsilon_{R}^{0})\left.\frac{dJ_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0}}} (48)

Therefore we can obtain

Slj(0)(ϵ=ϵR0,r)dJ0,lj()(ϵ)dϵ|ϵ=ϵR0,dJ0,lj(+)(ϵ)dϵ|ϵ=ϵR0\displaystyle S^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r})\sim-\frac{\left.\frac{dJ_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,*}}}{\left.\frac{dJ_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0}}} (49)

Since the S-matrix Slj(0)(ϵ=ϵR0,r)S^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}) is expressed as Slj(0)(ϵ=ϵR0,r)=e2iδR0S^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r})=e^{2i\delta_{R}^{0}} by using the phase-shift δR0\delta_{R}^{0} at ϵ=ϵR0,r\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}, we can obtain

dJ0,lj()(ϵ)dϵ|ϵ=ϵR0,e2iδR0dJ0,lj(+)(ϵ)dϵ|ϵ=ϵR0\displaystyle\left.\frac{dJ_{0,lj}^{(-)}(\epsilon)}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,*}}\sim-e^{2i\delta_{R}^{0}}\left.\frac{dJ_{0,lj}^{(+)}(\epsilon)}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0}} (50)

Applying Eqs.(47) and (50) to the condition Eq.(19), we can obtain

ϵn0\displaystyle\epsilon_{n}^{0} \displaystyle\sim ϵR0,r+ϵR0,icotδR0\displaystyle\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}+\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}\cot\delta_{R}^{0} (51)

Using Eqs.(48) and (51), the approximated expression of the T-matrix can be obtained as

Tlj(0)(ϵ)\displaystyle T^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon)
=i2(Slj(0)(ϵ)1)\displaystyle=\frac{i}{2}\left(S^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon)-1\right)
iϵϵn0+ϵR0,ieiδR0sinδR0[(ϵϵn0)eiδR0cosδR0+ϵR0,ieiδR0sinδR0]\displaystyle\sim\frac{-i}{\epsilon-\epsilon^{0}_{n}+\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}\frac{e^{i\delta_{R}^{0}}}{\sin\delta_{R}^{0}}}\left[(\epsilon-\epsilon_{n}^{0})e^{i\delta_{R}^{0}}\cos\delta_{R}^{0}+\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}\frac{e^{i\delta_{R}^{0}}}{\sin\delta_{R}^{0}}\right]
(52)

If δR0\delta_{R}^{0} is supposed to be δR0π2\delta_{R}^{0}\sim\frac{\pi}{2}, then Eq.(52) becomes

Tlj(0)(ϵ)ϵR0,iϵϵn0+iϵR0,i\displaystyle T^{(0)}_{lj}(\epsilon)\sim\frac{\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}}{\epsilon-\epsilon_{n}^{0}+i\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}} (53)

because

eiδR0sinδR0\displaystyle\frac{e^{i\delta_{R}^{0}}}{\sin\delta_{R}^{0}} \displaystyle\sim i\displaystyle i (54)
cosδR0\displaystyle\cos\delta_{R}^{0} \displaystyle\sim 0.\displaystyle 0. (55)

Figure 4: (Color online) The square of the scattering wave function |ψ0,lj(+)|2|\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}|^{2}. Vlj(r)V_{lj}(r) is the potential defined by Vlj(r)=Ulj(r)+2l(l+1)/2mr2V_{lj}(r)=U_{lj}(r)+\hbar^{2}l(l+1)/2mr^{2}. The solid red and dashed blue curves are the square of the wave function at ϵ=ϵn0\epsilon=\epsilon_{n}^{0} and ϵR0,r\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}, respectively.

Eq.(53) is the Breit-Wigner resonance formula. In the panel (a) of Fig.1, the square of T-matrices calculated with Eqs.(52) and (53) are plotted by the dashed blue and dotted green curves, respectively. One can see that Eq.(52) can express the asymmetric shape of the square of the T-matrix very well. The difference between the exact result and approximated one is due to the higher order contribution which are dropped in Eq.(50). The higher order contribution seems to be more important for the description of the shape at higher energy. The difference between ϵn0\epsilon_{n}^{0} and ϵR0,r\epsilon_{R}^{0,r} is due to the phase shift δR0\delta_{R}^{0} which is determined by the S-matrix at ϵ=ϵR0,r\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}. The imaginary part of the S-matrix pole ϵR0,i\epsilon_{R}^{0,i} represents the half of the width of the Breit-Wigner type peak of the square of the T-matrix.

In Fig.2, we can find the S-matrix poles at ϵ=0.54i0.56\epsilon=0.54-i0.56 and 2.59i4.632.59-i4.63 MeV for p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2}, respectively. However, no K-matrix is found in the panel (b). In the panel (a), we can see the broad peak shape of square of the T-matrix, but obviously the peak energy is quite different from ϵR0,r\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}, this is due to the values of the phase shift at ϵ=ϵR0,r\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r} which differ from π2\frac{\pi}{2}.

In Fig.3, we can find the peak of the square of the T-matrix at ϵ=3.70\epsilon=3.70 and 4.124.12 MeV for s1/2s_{1/2} and p3/2p_{3/2}, respectively. And we can confirm that those peaks are poles of the K-matrix from the panel (b). However, no S-matrix pole is found in the panel (d). Therefore, it may be possible to interpret that those peaks are the standing wave eigen solutions which don’t have the lifetime.

Figure 5: (Color online) EnE_{n}(or ERrE_{R}^{r})+λ+\lambda plotted as a function of the mean pairing gap Δ\langle\Delta\rangle with λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV (stable nucleus). The filled blue circles with the solid curve represent the standing solution EnE_{n}, and the unfilled red circles with the error-bars represent ERrE_{R}^{r} and ERiE_{R}^{i}, respectively.

The square of the wave functions |ψ0,lj(+)|2|\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}|^{2} are shown in Fig.4 together with the potential Vlj(r)=Ulj(r)+2l(l+1)/2mr2V_{lj}(r)=U_{lj}(r)+\hbar^{2}l(l+1)/2mr^{2} (the solid black curve). For f5/2f_{5/2} and g9/2g_{9/2}, the amplitude at the internal region of the potential is larger than the one at the outside of the potential. The wave function which exhibits the internal structure in the nucleus is connected with the free particle states outside the nucleus asymptotically. This is a behavior which can be interpreted as a metastable state. Both the S- and K-matrix poles for f5/2f_{5/2} and g9/2g_{9/2} are found near the top of the centrifugal barrier of the potential. These properties exhibit the typical properties of the so-called “shape resonance” written in many textbooks. It should be noted that the K-matrix pole exists in the half of the width given by ϵR0,i\epsilon_{R}^{0,i} centered on ϵR0,r\epsilon_{R}^{0,r}. The K-matrix poles of s1/2s_{1/2} and p3/2p_{3/2} are found at the continuum energy region. The behavior of the wave function exhibits a typical behavior of the continuum states, and the wave length of the wave function inside of the potential is reflected by the potential depth. The outer amplitude is larger than the inner one. The S-matrix poles for p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2} are found near the top of the centrifugal barrier although the height of the barrier is very low. The amplitude of square of the wave function outside the potential is much larger than the one inside the potential, even though the imaginary part of the S-matrix pole for p1/2p_{1/2} is small. As one can see in Fig.2, the phase shift is very small at ϵ=ϵR0,r\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r} for p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2}. This means that the interference between the scattering wave and outgoing wave without scattering is very small. Namely, the incident wave can not enter the nucleus at ϵ=ϵR0,r\epsilon=\epsilon_{R}^{0,r} for p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2} even though the centrifugal barrier is very small.

Figure 6: (Color online) The same as Fig.5 but λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV (Unstable nucleus).

From the analysis shown above, basically the S- and K-matrix poles are independent physical solutions, and the existence of a K-matrix pole in the width of the S-matrix pole is necessary in order to form a resonance which has the property as a metastable state.

Thereafter, we shall call a S-matrix pole which has the corresponding the K-matrix pole nearby as a “resonance” About other solutions, we shall call a K-matrix pole to which has no corresponding S-matrix pole as a “standing wave solution”, and a S-matrix pole to which has no corresponding the K-matrix pole as just a (independent) “S-matrix pole”.

In the next section, we discuss the pairing dependence of these three types of scattering solutions including the quasiparticle resonance.

III.2 Pairing effect on scattering solutions

In Figs.5, 6 and 7, standing wave solutions EnE_{n} and S-matrix poles ER(=ERriERi)E_{R}(=E_{R}^{r}-iE_{R}^{i}) are plotted as a function of the mean pairing gap Δ\langle\Delta\rangle within the range 0Δ100\leq\langle\Delta\rangle\leq 10 MeV. The EnE_{n} and ERE_{R} are obtained as the numerical solution of Eqs.(36) and (41), respectively. The standing wave eigen solutions(K-matrix poles) EnE_{n} are shown by the filled blue circles which are connected by solid curve, the S-matrix poles ER(=ERriERi)E_{R}(=E_{R}^{r}-iE_{R}^{i}) are shown by the unfilled red circles (for ERrE_{R}^{r}) with the error-bars(for ERiE_{R}^{i}). The results for the stable target of nucleus(λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV) are shown in Fig.5. Figs.6 and 7 are results for the unstable target of nucleus (λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV).

The pairing dependence of the shape resonances for f5/2f_{5/2} and g9/2g_{9/2} with λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV (stable nucleus) and λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV (unstable nucleus) are shown at the top panels in Figs.5 and 6, respectively. It is very easy to notice that the standing wave solution is more sensitive for the pairing than the S-matrix pole in the sense of the energy shift. The standing wave solution EnE_{n} is shifted to the higher energy as the pairing gap increases. The pairing gap has a tendency to makes ERiE_{R}^{i} (the imaginary part of the S-matrix pole ERE_{R}) larger, but the effect is small, ERrE_{R}^{r} is stable for the variation of the pairing gap. The shape resonance is a resonance with an Slj(0)S^{(0)}_{lj} pole corresponding to the Klj(0)K^{(0)}_{lj} pole. The S- and K-matrix are expressed by Eqs.(42) and (44) in the HFB framework, respectively. If Eq.(48) is good approximation for Slj(0)S^{(0)}_{lj} and Slj(0)S^{(0)}_{lj} has no pole, then it is very clear that the pole of SljS_{lj} is given by the pole of Slj(0)S^{(0)}_{lj} from Eq.(42), i.e. Slj(1)S^{(1)}_{lj} has no effect on the pole of SljS_{lj}. If the higher order terms of the Taylor expansion of the Jost function, Slj(1)S^{(1)}_{lj} can be seen as the effect of the pairing on the pole of SljS_{lj}. If Eq.(48) is good approximation for Slj(0)S^{(0)}_{lj}, we can obtain an approximated expression for Tlj(0)T^{(0)}_{lj} as given by Eq.(52). Then the approximated Klj(0)K^{(0)}_{lj} is given by

Klj(0)(E)\displaystyle K^{(0)}_{lj}(E) \displaystyle\sim 1E+λϵn0(ϵR0,isin2δR0)+cotδR0.\displaystyle\frac{1}{E+\lambda-\epsilon_{n}^{0}}\left(\frac{\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}}{\sin^{2}\delta^{0}_{R}}\right)+\cot\delta^{0}_{R}. (56)

The standing wave eigen value EnE_{n} is determined by 1/Klj(En)=01/K_{lj}(E_{n})=0, i.e.

Klj(1)(En)=1/Klj(0)(En).\displaystyle K^{(1)}_{lj}(E_{n})=1/K^{(0)}_{lj}(E_{n}). (57)

This is derived from Eq.(44).

By inserting Eq.(56) into Eq.(57), we can obtain

En+λϵn0+Klj(1)(En)ϵR0,isin2δR0(1Klj(1)(En)cotδR0).\displaystyle E_{n}+\lambda\sim\epsilon_{n}^{0}+\frac{K^{(1)}_{lj}(E_{n})\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}}{\sin^{2}\delta^{0}_{R}(1-K^{(1)}_{lj}(E_{n})\cot\delta^{0}_{R})}. (58)

Since δR0π/2\delta^{0}_{R}\sim\pi/2 for the shape resonances of f5/2f_{5/2} and g9/2g_{9/2} as shown in Fig.1, Eq.(58) can be expressed as

En+λϵn0+Klj(1)(En)ϵR0,i.\displaystyle E_{n}+\lambda\sim\epsilon_{n}^{0}+K^{(1)}_{lj}(E_{n})\epsilon_{R}^{0,i}. (59)

This is the reason why EnE_{n} of f5/2f_{5/2} is more sensitive for the pairing than the one of g9/2g_{9/2}. In Fig.8, we show Klj(1)(En)K^{(1)}_{lj}(E_{n}) as a function of Δ\langle\Delta\rangle. The dotted curves are the fitted function curve by using aΔ3+bΔ2+cΔa\langle\Delta\rangle^{3}+b\langle\Delta\rangle^{2}+c\langle\Delta\rangle. The adjusted parameters for f5/2f_{5/2} and g9/2g_{9/2} are shown in Table.1 and Table.2, respectively. From the results of adjusted parameters, we can see that Δ2\langle\Delta\rangle^{2} term is dominant to express the pairing gap dependence since bb is largest value. We can see the clear dependence of bb on λ\lambda, but no difference between f5/2f_{5/2} and g9/2g_{9/2}.

As is shown in Fig.2, the independent S-matrix poles are found for p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2} at the zero pairing limit. The pairing effect on those S-matrix poles at the middle panels of Figs.5 and 6. There is almost no effect of the pairing for the S-matrix poles of p1/2p_{1/2} with λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV and d5/2d_{5/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV. The hole-type quasiparticle resonances are found at higher energy than the S-matrix poles, except d5/2d_{5/2} with λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV. When the hole-type quasiparticle resonance exists, Tlj(1)(E)T^{(1)}_{lj}(E) is given by

Tlj(1)(E)\displaystyle T_{lj}^{(1)}(E) =\displaystyle= Γlj(E)/2Eλ+ehFlj(E)+iΓlj(E)/2,\displaystyle\frac{\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2}{E-\lambda+e_{h}-F_{lj}(E)+i\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2}, (60)

where

Flj(E)\displaystyle F_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= 2m22πP0𝑑kk2|ψ0,lj(+)(k)|Δ|ϕh,lj|2k12(E)k2,\displaystyle\frac{2m}{\hbar^{2}}\frac{2}{\pi}P\int_{0}^{\infty}dk^{\prime}k^{\prime 2}\frac{|\langle\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(k^{\prime})|\Delta|\phi_{h,lj}\rangle|^{2}}{k^{2}_{1}(E)-k^{\prime 2}},
Γlj(E)/2\displaystyle\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2 =\displaystyle= 2mk1(E)2|ψ0,lj(+)(k1(E))|Δ|ϕh,lj|2,\displaystyle\frac{2mk_{1}(E)}{\hbar^{2}}|\langle\psi_{0,lj}^{(+)}(k_{1}(E))|\Delta|\phi_{h,lj}\rangle|^{2}, (62)

as is derived in jost-fano .

Slj(1)S_{lj}^{(1)} and Klj(1)K_{lj}^{(1)} are given by

Slj(1)(E)\displaystyle S_{lj}^{(1)}(E) =\displaystyle= Eλ+ehFlj(E)iΓlj(E)/2Eλ+ehFlj(E)+iΓlj(E)/2,\displaystyle\frac{E-\lambda+e_{h}-F_{lj}(E)-i\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2}{E-\lambda+e_{h}-F_{lj}(E)+i\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2}, (63)
Klj(1)(E)\displaystyle K_{lj}^{(1)}(E) =\displaystyle= Γlj(E)/2Eλ+ehFlj(E).\displaystyle\frac{\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2}{E-\lambda+e_{h}-F_{lj}(E)}. (64)

By inserting Eq.(63) into Eq.(42), we obtain

Slj(E)\displaystyle S_{lj}(E) =\displaystyle= Slj(0)(E)Eλ+ehFlj(E)iΓlj(E)/2Eλ+ehFlj(E)+iΓlj(E)/2\displaystyle S_{lj}^{(0)}(E)\frac{E-\lambda+e_{h}-F_{lj}(E)-i\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2}{E-\lambda+e_{h}-F_{lj}(E)+i\Gamma_{lj}(E)/2}
. (65)

Therefore, the pole of Slj(0)(E)S_{lj}^{(0)}(E) gives the independent S-matrix pole, and the S-matrix pole for the hole-type quasiparticle resonance is given by

ER+λ=2λeh+Flj(ER)iΓlj(ER)/2,\displaystyle E_{R}+\lambda=2\lambda-e_{h}+F_{lj}(E_{R})-i\Gamma_{lj}(E_{R})/2, (66)

By inserting Eq.(64) into Eq.(57), we can obtain the condition for the standing wave solution EnE_{n} of hole-type resonance as

En+λ=2λeh+Flj(En)+Klj(0)(En)Γlj(En)2\displaystyle E_{n}+\lambda=2\lambda-e_{h}+F_{lj}(E_{n})+K_{lj}^{(0)}(E_{n})\frac{\Gamma_{lj}(E_{n})}{2}
(67)

From Eqs.(66) and (67), we can obtain

En=ERr+Klj(0)(En)Γlj(En)2\displaystyle E_{n}=E_{R}^{r}+K_{lj}^{(0)}(E_{n})\frac{\Gamma_{lj}(E_{n})}{2} (68)

where

ERr=λeh+Flj(En).\displaystyle E_{R}^{r}=\lambda-e_{h}+F_{lj}(E_{n}). (69)

Therefore we can see that both ERrE_{R}^{r} and EnE_{n} increase as the pairing gap increases. As we can see from Fig.2, the sign of Klj(0)(En)K_{lj}^{(0)}(E_{n}) for p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2} is negative. Eq.(68) indicates ERr>EnE_{R}^{r}>E_{n} for the hole-type quasiparticle resonance of p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2} when Klj(0)(En)<0K_{lj}^{(0)}(E_{n})<0. This is consistent with the results of p1/2p_{1/2} in Fig.5 and p1/2p_{1/2} and d5/2d_{5/2} in Fig.6.

In the case of d5/2d_{5/2} with λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV, a hole-type quasi-bound state (this becomes resonance for Δ7.5\langle\Delta\rangle\geq 7.5 MeV) is found and pushes up the S-matrix pole as the pairing increases. It seems that a quasi-bound state prevents the S-matrix pole to stay at the same position. Further investigation may be necessary to clarify the detail mechanism of this property.

The same pairing effect can be seen for the hole-type d3/2d_{3/2}-resonance with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV shown in the right panel of Fig.6, but En>ERrE_{n}>E_{R}^{r}. This indicates Klj(0)(En)>0K_{lj}^{(0)}(E_{n})>0 by Eq.(68). In Fig.7, we show the quasiparticle bound state or resonance for the partial wave components which don’t have any visible contribution of |T|2|T|^{2} at the zero pairing limit (i.e. |T|2|T0|20|T|^{2}\to|T_{0}|^{2}\simeq 0 with Δ0\langle\Delta\rangle\to 0). The left panel is the particle-type quasiparticle bound state/resonance for f7/2f_{7/2} which originates from a f7/2f_{7/2} particle bound state. We have confirmed that the particle-type quasiparticle bound states (such as p3/2p_{3/2} of Fig.6 and f7/2f_{7/2} of Fig.7) obey the well-known formula ERr=(ϵpλ)2+Δ2E_{R}^{r}=\sqrt{(\epsilon_{p}-\lambda)^{2}+\langle\Delta\rangle^{2}} for Δ3.0\langle\Delta\rangle\leq 3.0 MeV, approximately.

Figure 7: (Color online) The same as Fig.5 but for f7/2f_{7/2} and d3/2d_{3/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV (Unstable nucleus).

As is shown in Fig.3, the independent K-matrix poles are found for s1/2s_{1/2} and p3/2p_{3/2} as the standing wave solution at the zero pairing limit. The pairing effect for the standing wave solutions are very tricky. In Fig.5 (λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV), the independent standing wave solutions EnE_{n} for both s1/2s_{1/2} and p3/2p_{3/2} are shifted to lower energy as the pairing increases. However, the standing wave solution of s1/2s_{1/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV is shifted to higher energy as the pairing increases, but a hole-type quasiparticle resonance is found just above the standing wave solution. The K-matrix pole of the resonance goes down as the pairing increases, although the S-matrix pole shifts to higher energy and the width becomes larger. And then, when those two K-matrix poles meet each other, the K-matrix poles are vanished. Finally, the hole-type resonance becomes an independent S-matrix pole. A similar thing happens also for p3/2p_{3/2}, but the quasiparticle resonance which is found just below the standing wave solution for p3/2p_{3/2} is the particle-type as is shown in the bottom right panel of Fig.6. The hole-type resonance for s1/2s_{1/2} and particle-type resonance for p3/2p_{3/2} become the independent S-matrix poles for Δ3.30\langle\Delta\rangle\geq 3.30 and 4.08\geq 4.08 MeV, respectively.

The independent K-matrix pole at the zero pairing limit is given by

1Klj(0)(En(0))=0.\displaystyle\frac{1}{K^{(0)}_{lj}(E_{n}^{(0)})}=0. (70)

By using the first order approximation of the Taylor expansion, the inverse of Klj(0)(E)K^{(0)}_{lj}(E) can be expressed as

1Klj(0)(E)EEn(0)clj\displaystyle\frac{1}{K^{(0)}_{lj}(E)}\sim\frac{E-E_{n}^{(0)}}{c_{lj}} (71)

where cljc_{lj} is a real number defined by

By inserting Eqs.(64) and (71) into Eq.(57), we can obtain

At the zero pairing limit, ERrλehE_{R}^{r}\to\lambda-e_{h} and Γlj0\Gamma_{lj}\to 0, therefore EnE_{n} becomes

limΔ0En{En(0)λeh\displaystyle\lim_{\langle\Delta\rangle\to 0}E_{n}\to\left\{\begin{array}[]{c}E_{n}^{(0)}\\ \lambda-e_{h}\end{array}\right. (79)

We can notice that the sign of cljc_{lj} is negative from Fig.3. The pairing dependence is included in ERrE_{R}^{r} and Γlj\Gamma_{lj}, both values increase as the pairing gap increases. Therefore, a “critical pairing gap Δc\langle\Delta\rangle_{c}” exists which satisfies

(En(0)+ERr)24(En(0)ERrcljΓlj/2)=0.\displaystyle(E_{n}^{(0)}+E_{R}^{r})^{2}-4(E_{n}^{(0)}E_{R}^{r}-c_{lj}\Gamma_{lj}/2)=0. (80)

With this “critical pairing gap Δc\langle\Delta\rangle_{c}”, EnE_{n} is given by En=12(En(0)+ERr)E_{n}=\frac{1}{2}(E_{n}^{(0)}+E_{R}^{r}). And EnE_{n} doesn’t exist for Δ>Δc\langle\Delta\rangle>\langle\Delta\rangle_{c}.

The upper component of the HFB scattering wave function |ψ1(+)|2|\psi_{1}^{(+)}|^{2}, and HF scattering wave function |ψ0(+)|2|\psi_{0}^{(+)}|^{2} are plotted as a function of rr [fm] by the red solid and blue dashed curves, respectively. The HF potential Vlj=Ulj+2l(l+1)/2mr2V_{lj}=U_{lj}+\hbar^{2}l(l+1)/2mr^{2} is plotted together by the black solid curve. See text for details.

The existence of the “critical pairing gap Δc\langle\Delta\rangle_{c}” exhibits the breaking effect of the quasiparticle resonance by the standing wave solution and pairing. The quasiparticle resonance is a resonance which is formed by the pairing effect. However, the quasiparticle resonance can be broken by the pairing effect if there is an independent standing wave solution nearby.

III.3 Pairing effect on the scattering wave function

In Fig.9, the scattering wave functions of the resonances are plotted as a function of rr. The red solid curves represent the square of the upper component of the HFB scattering wave function |ψ1,lj(+)|2|\psi^{(+)}_{1,lj}|^{2}, the blue dashed curves are the HF wave function |ψ0,lj(+)|2|\psi^{(+)}_{0,lj}|^{2}. The difference of those exhibits the effect of the pairing on the scattering wave function.

In the upper left panel, the wave function of the shape resonance of g9/2g_{9/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV are shown. The shape of the wave function exhibits the metastable property of the state which is reflected to the sharpness of the peak of the cross section.

The upper right panel shows the wave function of the particle-type quasiparticle resonance of f7/2f_{7/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV which originates from a HF particle state ep=0.926e_{p}=-0.926 MeV. The shape of the wave function almost represents the characteristic of the bound state. The corresponding peak of the cross section is expected to be a very sharp peak as a bound state embedded in the continuum.

Figure 10: (Color online) The scattering wave function for a particle-type quasiparticle resonance and independent standing wave solution of p3/2p_{3/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV are plotted in the left panels. In the right panels, the resonance energy ER(=ERriERi)E_{R}(=E_{R}^{r}-iE_{R}^{i}) is represented by the red circle (ERrE_{R}^{r}) and error-bar (ERiE_{R}^{i}), the standing wave solution EnE_{n} is represented by the blue solid curve and circle. Those are plotted as a function of the mean pairing gap Δ\langle\Delta\rangle. The top, middle and bottom panels are representing figures for Δ=2.0\langle\Delta\rangle=2.0, 4.04.0 and 6.06.0 MeV, respectively.

The wave functions of p1/2p_{1/2} hole-type quasiparticle resonance which originates from a hole state eh=19.65e_{h}=-19.65 MeV is shown in the lower right panel. The wave functions at ϵ=18.2\epsilon=18.2 MeV and 4.054.05 MeV are the wave function with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV and 8.0-8.0 MeV, respectively. The wave function with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV exhibits the typical behavior of the metastable state, however, the wave function with λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV does not have the metastable structure. The p1/2p_{1/2} hole-type quasiparticle resonance is the resonance which has the asymmetric shape of the cross section due to the “Fano effect” caused by the pairing, as is introduced in jost-fano . The Fano effect is the quantum interference effect between the bound state and continuum. The asymmetry parameter qq of the Fano formula is defined by the inverse of Klj(0)K^{(0)}_{lj}. As is known, the shape of the cross section becomes the asymmetric shape and the Breit-Wigner type of shape with the small and large values of qq, respectively. The hole-type quasiparticle resonance for p1/2p_{1/2} with λ=8.0\lambda=-8.0 MeV has the small value of qq, contrary, the hole-type quasiparticle resonance for p1/2p_{1/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV has the large value of qq. The wave function of the hole-type quasiparticle resonance for d3/2d_{3/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV is shown in the lower right panel. This resonance has been analyzed in jost-fano as an example of the resonance which has large value of qq. This resonance also has the metastable structure of the wave function. The physical meaning of qq is the transition probability to the “modified quasi-hole” state at the resonance energy as is introduced in jost-fano . Therefore, the large transition probability due to the “Fano effect” is necessary to form the metastable structure of the scattering wave function for the hole-type quasiparticle resonance.

In the last section, we explained that the independent standing wave solution can break the quasiparticle resonance due to the pairing effect. In Fig.10, we demonstrate how the resonance wave function is broken by the independent standing wave solution. The wave functions for the resonance (red solid and blue dashed curves) and standing wave solution (blue dashed curve) for p3/2p_{3/2} with λ=1.0\lambda=-1.0 MeV are shown in the left panels. The top, middle and bottom panels are the wave functions with Δ=2.0\langle\Delta\rangle=2.0, 4.04.0 and 6.06.0 MeV, respectively. When Δ=2.0\langle\Delta\rangle=2.0 MeV, the resonance wave function still keeps the metastable structure. An independent standing wave is found at higher energy. As the pairing increases, the resonance wave function is separated into the wave functions for the S-matrix pole and the standing wave solution (K-matrix pole). Tow standing wave solutions approaches and vanishes at the critical pairing gap Δc\langle\Delta\rangle_{c}. The metastable structure of the resonance wave function is broken and is changed to the wave function structure of the independent S-matrix pole.

IV Summary

As is well-known, the S-matrix pole represents a physical state in the scattering which is so-called “resonance”. The Jost function formalism is one of the powerful tool to calculate the S-matrix by using the potential directly. In jost-hfb , we extended the Jost formalism to take into account the pairing correlation, and showed the trajectories of the quasiparticle resonance on the complex quasi-energy plane varying the pairing gap. Within the HFB framework, it was already known that there are two types of the quasiparticle resonance, the particle- and hole-type of the quasiparticle resonances. As is expected, the trajectories of each types of resonances showed the different trajectories. However, we found the another types of S-matrix pole which has the different trajectories from both particle- and hole-type quasiparticle resonances. This fact implies the existence of the another type of the physical state which has the different effect of the pairing.

In this paper, we clarified the scattering solutions of the NANA-scattering system within the HFB framework. For the classification of the scattering solution, firstly, we reviewed the theory of the S-, T- and K-matrix within the HF framework by ignoring the pairing. With the help of the Jost function framework and the Strum-Liouville theory, we found that the poles of the S-matrix and K-matrix are independent. The K-matrix pole is found on the real axis of the complex energy, and is the standing wave solution which is given as the eigen solution of the Strum-Liouville eigen value problem for the scattering system. By analyzing the properties of those scattering solutions, we found that the T-matrix has the Breit-Wigner type form when there is a corresponding standing wave solution near the real part of the S-matrix pole, and also the wave function has the metastable structure. The imaginary part of the S-matrix pole becomes the width of the resonance peak which is relevant to the life time of the resonance. The independent K-matrix pole and S-matrix pole can exist. The K-matrix pole is located at the peak of which the square of the T-matrix becomes one, but the width which is relevant to the life time can not be defined. The wave function for the K-matrix pole does not have the metastable structure. The independent S-matrix pole can not form the Wigner type form of the T-matrix even if the imaginary part of the pole is small, and the wave function at the energy of the real part of the pole does not have the metastable structure. Even the interference of the wave function with the in-coming/out-going plane wave is very small. We, therefore, found out that the “resonance” (which has the metastable property) can be formed by the S-matrix pole which has the corresponding K-matrix pole nearby the real part of the S-matrix pole.

Secondary, we investigated the classification of the scattering solutions and their properties especially in terms of the pairing effect within the HFB framework. With the help of the HFB Jost function framework, we defined and calculated the S-, T- and K-matrix. In order to analyze the pairing effect, we divided the T-matrix into the HF term T(0)T^{(0)} and the pairing term T(1)T^{(1)}. The S-matrix and K-matrix are also expressed by using S(0)S^{(0)}, S(1)S^{(1)}, K(0)K^{(0)} and K(1)K^{(1)} as given by Eqs.(42) and (44). The “resonance” is formed by the pole of the S-matrix SS which has the corresponding pole of the K-matrix KK. If the poles of the S-matrix and K-matrix originate from S(0)S^{(0)} and K(0)K^{(0)}, the resonance is called the “shape resonance”. The pairing effect is caused mainly by K(1)K^{(1)}. The effect of pairing on the S-matrix pole is very small. If the poles the S-matrix and K-matrix originate from S(1)S^{(1)} and K(1)K^{(1)}, the resonance is called the “quasiparticle resonance”. If the poles of S(1)S^{(1)} and K(1)K^{(1)} originate from the particle or hole states, the resonance is called the “particle-type” or “hole-type” quasiparticle resonance. If there is an independent pole of K(0)K^{(0)}, the K-matrix pole of the quasiparticle resonance and the independent pole approach each other as the pairing gap increases, and both poles are disappeared when two poles come to the same energy at the critical pairing gap, and then the quasiparticle resonance becomes the independent S-matrix pole. It seems that the quasiparticle is broken by the standing wave solution (independent K-matrix pole) due to the pairing effect. Actually, we could see that the independent standing wave destroy the metastable structure of the wave function of the quasiparticle resonance by the pairing effect, in the analysis of the wave function. It was also confirmed that, when the Fano parameter qq is small, the “Fano effect” also erases the metastable structure of the hole-type quasiparticle resonance wave function by keeping the poles for the resonance as is.
