Monte Carlo Studies of Momentum Distributions and Longitudinal Response Functions of a = 3 and 4 Nuclei
Abstract
dc:descriptionWe review realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials and three-nucleon interaction models based on the two-pion exchange mechanism, describing their theoretical basis. The Faddeev method for the three-body nuclei, and variational approaches for the three- and four-body nuclei wave functions are used to represent the ground state of these nuclei. The variational method is discussed in some detail, and results for the binding energies and charge radii obtained with this method are reported. The Monte Carlo integration technique, also briefly reviewed, is used to evaluate various expectation values, and is generalized to calculate quantities such as momentum distributions and transition probabilities.
