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如何引起在自然界中观察到的这些粒子的各种集合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。 我们的努力将集中在利用框架的自洽绿色函数方法（SCGF）的相关大量的实验数据的目标，使可靠的预测与中子数N非常不同的核质子数Z，将在未来的放射性束设施进行研究。SCGF方法也将用于从头算，微观预测的强相互作用的量子多体系统的属性。核系统的定量微观描述，包括中子星，核物质和有限核，是该计划的核心目的。指导研究生助理在科学研究的过程和道德是该项目的一个组成部分。他们的贡献对该组织的成功至关重要。他们作为原创和多产科学家的独立发展是该计划的核心目标，一个重要组成部分是研究培训与教学经验的整合。

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.
