Abstract: | The development of sophisticated ab initio methods and the improvement of nuclear interactions derived from chiral effective field theory allow a very precise description of nuclear bound-state observables. In recent years, the development of ab initio methods that include the continuum degrees of freedom have made significant progress. Those methods allow the description of nuclear resonances. In this work, we develop an ab initio Gamow no-core shell model (GNCSM) framework for the description of nuclear resonances. The GNCSM is an extension of the NCSM, which is a very common ab initio method for a precise calculation of bound-state observables. The GNCSM makes use of the Berggren completeness relation, which enables the use of single-particle resonance and scattering continuum states in an orthonormal single-particle basis. As a consequence, the GNCSM Hamilton matrix becomes complex symmetric. The complex eigenvalues are able to describe the decay rate of nuclear resonances. The matrix elements for the GNCSM are calculated using an expansion in harmonic-oscillator matrix elements in order to regulate the infinite single-particle continuum states. The GNCSM with the Berggren single-particle basis is used to calculate a reference state. For this reference state, we compute a set of optimized Gamow natural orbitals in order to enhance the convergence rate in a subsequent GNCSM calculation. Finally, multiple Gamow natural orbital sets are used to compute a final result with a many-body uncertainty. The GNCSM framework is applied to resonances of various light nuclei. For some of these nuclei, we present a more precise calculation than the current spread of experimental results. Furthermore, we investigate different realistic interactions derived from chiral effective field theory with respect to their influence on the resonance energy and find that the dependence on the interaction is negligible compared to the many-body uncertainty of our framework. As a final application, we study the tetraneutron and find indications for a low-lying resonance. |
