Green's Functions and The Nuclear Many-Body Problem

拟议的研究的总体目标是增加我们对量子粒子的相互作用和统计数据如何产生在自然界中观察到的此类粒子的不同组装中观察到的丰富现象的了解。重点放在有限和无限的核系统上。我们的工作将集中在利用自洽格林函数方法(SCGF)的框架来关联大量的实验数据，目的是对中子数N与质子数Z有很大不同的核做出可靠的预测，这些核将在未来的放射束设施中被研究。SCGF方法还将用于从头算起，微观预测强相互作用量子多体系统的性质。该计划的核心目的是对包括中子星、核物质和有限核在内的核系统进行定量的微观描述。对研究生助理进行科学研究过程和道德方面的指导是该项目不可分割的一部分。他们的贡献对它的成功至关重要。他们作为原创和多产的科学家向独立发展是该计划的中心目标，其中一个重要组成部分是将研究培训与有意义的教学经验相结合。

The proposed research has the overall goal of increasing our knowledge of how the interactions and statistics of quantum particles give rise to the rich phenomena observed in the diverse assemblies of such particles observed in nature. Emphasis is placed on nuclear systems both finite and infinite. Our efforts will focus on the utilization of the framework of the self-consistent Green's function method (SCGF) to correlate large amounts of experimental data with the goal to make reliable predictions for nuclei with neutron number N very different from proton number Z that will be studied at future radioactive beam facilities. The SCGF method will also be employed for ab initio, microscopic prediction of the properties of strongly interacting quantum many-body systems. Quantitative microscopic description of nuclear systems, including neutron stars, nuclear matter, and finite nuclei, is the core purpose of the program. The mentoring of graduate assistants in the process and ethic of scientific research is an integral part of the project. Their contributions are critical to its success. Their development toward independence as original and productive scientists is a central objective of the program, a significant component being the integration of research training with meaningful experience in teaching.
