The present relativistic results significantly outperform the nonrelativistic results with only twonucleon forces. We demonstrate that both light nuclei and nuclear matter can be well described simultaneously in the relativistic ab initio calculations, even in the absence of three-nucleon forces, and a correlation between the properties of light A ≤ 4 nuclei and the nuclear saturation is revealed. This provides a quantitative understanding of the connection between the light nuclei and nuclear matter saturation properties.展开更多

The formula takes into account the non locality of the self consistent single particle potential and the special features of light nuclei, namely： （a） charge and mass distributions are closer to a Gaussian shape than to the shape characteristic in medium and heavy nuclei; （b） the central charge and mass densities are larger than, and decrease towards, the ＂asymptotic＂ values that are the reference parameters for nuclear matter; and （c） after a shell closure, the next level has a larger orbital angular momentum and a noticeably larger mean square radius. Only then a good numerical fit is obtained with parameters consistent with optical model analysis and empirical spin-orbit couplings. A correlation between the ＂skin effect＂ and the symmetry dependence of the optical potential is established. Towards the neutron drip line the potential well depth, the spin-orbit splitting of the single particle levels and the gap between major shells decrease, as has been observed. The ensuing shift and contraction of the single particle level scheme may lead to： （a） to strong configuration mixing and new magic numbers, and （b） the onset of the halo effect, to avoid the expulsion of single particle levels to the continuum.展开更多

Neglecting C_(n^(2)p) results in an overestimated relative neutron density fluctuation extraction. In contrast, including C_(n^(2)p) enhances the agreement with experimental results with higher yield ratios but does not change the energy dependence of the yield ratio. Since the AMPT model does exhibit a first-order phase transition or critical physics, the study fails to reproduce the experimental energy-dependent peak around sNN1/2=20-30 GeV. The study'us findings might offer a baseline for investigating critical physics phenomena using light nuclei production as a probe.展开更多

We take deuterons and ~3 He produced in Pb-Pb collisions at ■= 2.76 TeV as examples to show the contribution of different production sources by studying their rapidity densities dN/dy, yield ratios and transverse momentum(PT)spectra just after hadronization and at the final kinetic freeze-out. We find that about a half of d and a fourth of ~3 He created just after hadronization can survive after the hadronic evolution process. Nucleons from A resonance decays make a much larger contribution to the regeneration of light nuclei at the hadronic phase stage, and this contribution is about 77% and 90% for d and ~3 He, respectively, calculated at the final kinetic freeze-out. In addition, we give an explanation for the constant behaviors of yield ratios d/p and ~3 He/p as a function of the averaged charged multiplicity in Pb-Pb collisions and also provide a possible explanation for the observation that d/p in Pb-Pb collisions is larger by a factor of about two than in pp collisions at LHC energies.展开更多

文摘An accurate and simultaneous ab initio prediction for both light nuclei and nuclear matter has been a longstanding challenge in nuclear physics, due to the significant uncertainties associated with the three-nucleon forces.In this Letter, we develop the relativistic quantum Monte Carlo methods for the nuclear ab initio problem, and calculate the ground-state energies of A ≤ 4 nuclei using the two-nucleon Bonn force with an unprecedented high accuracy. The present relativistic results significantly outperform the nonrelativistic results with only twonucleon forces. We demonstrate that both light nuclei and nuclear matter can be well described simultaneously in the relativistic ab initio calculations, even in the absence of three-nucleon forces, and a correlation between the properties of light A ≤ 4 nuclei and the nuclear saturation is revealed. This provides a quantitative understanding of the connection between the light nuclei and nuclear matter saturation properties.

文摘A coalescence model was employed to form deuterons(d),tritons(t),and helium-3(^(3)He)nuclei from a uniformly-distributed volume of protons(p)and neutrons(n).We studied the ratio N_(t)N_(p)/N_(d)^(2)of light nuclei yields as a function of the neutron density fluctuations.We investigated the effect of finite transverse momentum(p_(T))acceptance on the ratio,in particular,the“extrapolation factor”(f)for the ratio as a function of the p_(T)spectral shape and the magnitude of neutron density fluctuations.The nature of f was found to be monotonic in p_(T)spectra“temperature”parameter and neutron density fluctuation magnitude;variations in the latter are relatively small.We also examined f in realistic simulations using the kinematic distributions of protons measured from the heavy-ion collision data.The nature of f was found to be smooth and monotonic as a function of the beam energy.Therefore,we conclude that extrapolation from limited p_(T)ranges does not create,enhance,or reduce the local peak of the N_(t)N_(p)/N_(d)^(2)ratio in the beam energy.Our study provides a necessary benchmark for light nuclei ratios as a probe for nucleon density fluctuations,an important observation in the search for the critical point of nuclear matter.
