One nucleon transfer operator and nuclear supersymmetry
Abstract
The appropriate use of the interacting boson-fermion model one nucleon transfer operator in connection with nuclear supersymmetries is discussed. We emphasize that care must be taken in using the same coupling order, either l-s or s-l, in the odd particle creation operator appearing in the one nucleon transfer operator and in the wave function of the odd-A nucleus. As an example, we have recalculated consistently the one nucleon transfer strengths for the 196Pt→195Pt one neutron pickup reaction which is the best known example of dynamical nuclear supersymmetry. In addition, we present for the same reaction the results of several calculations considering different truncations in the boson-fermion expansion of the fermion creation operator.

INTRODUCTION The occurrence of supersymmetry in nuclei (n-SUSY) [1–3] has been a matter of interest during the last 20 years [4–6]. During this time the theoretical and experimental effort for identifying some nuclei as examples of the realization of n-SUSY was mainly concentrated in the comparison of the predicted and observed level schemes. Recently, however, new experimental facilities have allowed detailed measurements of nuclear properties in the Pt region [7–10], particularly one nucleon transfer intensities. These experimental data have allowed more stringent testing of the idea of n-SUSY and have provided strong evidence of its existence in nature. Consequently, the interest in the exploration of n-SUSY has been renewed. There are two kinds of n-SUSY schemes depending on whether the proton-neutron degree of freedom is explicitly considered or not. In the simpler second case, two neighboring even-even and odd-even nuclei are described simultaneously with the same Hamiltonian [1,11]. In the richer, and more interesting, first case a quadruplet of neighboring nuclei, even-even, odd-even, even-odd, and odd-odd, are described with the same Hamiltonian. The corresponding n-SUSY is called extended n-SUSY [3]. The possibility of describing so many experimental data with a reduced number of parameters has encouraged nuclear physicists to look for examples of nuclei that approximate the n-SUSY scheme. In addition, since dynamical n-SUSYs are exactly solvable, the help given in the understanding of nuclear structure is invaluable. For this reason, there is continuous feedback between theory and experiment. Incidentally, the dynamical n-SUSY description can also be used as a starting point for getting better fits to experimental data in perturbed calculations [12]. As mentioned above, there is presently strong evidence of the realization of n-SUSY in the Pt-Au nuclei. In this region the fermion space can be truncated to the 3p1/2,3p3/2, and 2f5/2 orbitals for the neutrons and to the 2d3/2orbital for the protons. Consequently, the appropriate extended dynamical n-SUSY is Uν(6/12) Uπ(6/4). In it one considers the coupling of a neutron, which can occupy jν=1/2,3/2, and 5/2 orbits, and ajπ=3/2protontoanO(6) core. In this paper we concentrate on the evaluation of one neutron transfer strengths within n-SUSY and the interacting boson-fermion approximation (IBFA) model [11] since they give valuable information about the wave functions of the states involved. In Sec. II we address the importance of being consistent in the coupling order adopted, both in the operators and in the wave functions, for the orbital and spin angular momenta of the odd particle. The use of different coupling orders in operators and wave functions gives rise to relative phases that make the calculation incorrect. We illustrate this point with a simple example and present the correct results for the spectroscopic strengths for the 196Pt → 195Pt one neutron pickup reaction. In Sec. III we present the evaluation of one nucleon transfer spectroscopic strengths for the same reaction using three different truncations of the boson-fermion image of the one nucleon transfer operator (the associated fermionic shell-model operator). We consider first the a† joperator. The second operator used is the one usually proposed in IBFA that includes the next term in the boson-fermion expansion. Finally, the third one includes one additional term in the expansion, as proposed recently [13]. The calculations performed with this last operator are the first actual application of the formalism presented in Ref. [13]. Comparison of these results with experimental data shows the importance of including higher order terms in the boson-fermion image of the one nucleon transfer operator to improve the agreement with the data. Finally, Sec. IV presents the conclusions of this work. II. CONSISTENT COUPLING ORDER IN OPERATORS AND STATES In this section we want to draw attention to the care that must be taken to avoid inconsistencies in the coupling order of angular momenta in general. In particular, we are going to focus on the case of the evaluation of spectroscopic strengths when using an n-SUSY scheme. To obtain the n-SUSY wave functions, one has to specify from the beginning the coupling order of orbital land spin s 0556-2813/2005/71(1)/014314(7)/$23.00 014314-1 ©2005 The American Physical Society

The choice of this order is irrelevant as long as one keeps it consistent throughout the calculation. In the calculations presented in [9,10] the wave functions were obtained from n-SUSY while the transfer operator was taken from the IBFA. For this reason, one should make sure that the a† jchosen have been obtained using the same coupling criteria as in the n-SUSY wave functions. This consistency is difficult to know just by looking at the expressions of wave functions and operators since the only label commonly used is the total angular momentum j. No track is usually conserved on the l-sor s-lintermediate coupling. Let us illustrate our point by discussing the use of the semimicroscopically derived IBFA one nucleon transfer operator [14,15] in connection with the n-SUSY wave functions. The IBFA image of the shell-model one fermion creation operator c† jis in general an infinite expansion in terms of the boson operators s†,d†and an “ideal” fermion operator a† jacting in the boson-fermion space. A truncation of this expansion T† jwas proposed in Ref. [14] using the generalized seniority scheme and considering terms including up to one d-boson which change generalized seniority vin one unit. Under these conditions, the IBFA image of the one fermion creation operator for transfer reactions conserving the boson number is obtained [14,15] within a scheme called IBFA-2 [11] in which the neutron-proton degree of freedom is explicitly taken into account (the simpler version of the IBFA model which does not include explicitly the neutron-proton degree of freedom is known as IBFA-1) as T† j(IBFA-2) ρ=uja† j− j10 (2j+1)Nvj ×Qjj(ujvj+vjuj) Nβ s† da† j(j)ρ ,(1) where ρstands for neutron or proton (depending on the nature of the transferred particle), the ujare related to the occupation probabilities, Nρis the total number of ρbosons, Qjjare the matrix elements of the quadrupole operator between states j, jand Nβ=jjβ2 jj1 2with βjj=Qjj(ujvj+vjuj). Usually the odd-nucleon creation operator a† jhas only one label j, with the corresponding land shidden in some way. The coupling scheme is unimportant when the explicit expression for Qjjis not stated. However, when the fermion quadrupole operator q(2) is written in terms of the actual shellmodel one fermion creation and annihilation operators c† jand cjas q(2) = jj Qjjc† jcj(2) = jjl1 2jY(2) l1 2jc† jcj(2) (2) and Qjj=l1 2j||Y(2)||l1 2j, then, l-scoupling is adopted for c† jand cjand, consequently, for the a† jin the IBFA transfer operator. One could choose alternatively the s-lcoupling just by taking Qjj=1 2lj||Y(2)||1 2lj . The difference between the two elections of Qjjis a phase factor (−1)j−jwhich is +1 when one considers just a single jcase but introduces relative phases if there are several open orbits as in the case of the Uν(6/12) Uπ(6/4) n-SUSY. On the other hand, when one expresses the n-SUSY wave functions in the coupled notation for Uν(6/12) Uπ(6/4) one has to select at the beginning ˜ l-˜ sor ˜ s-˜ lcoupling in the a† joperator to define the generators of the different algebras involved [16], where ˜ land ˜ sindicate pseudo-orbital and pseudospin angular momenta, respectively. In the coupled notation, the different components of the wave functions are labeled, in addition to the boson labels, by the odd fermion label jthat in fact includes the coupling order. In Ref. [16], ˜ l-˜ scoupling was selected and l-scoupling is implied automatically. To illustrate our point, we refer to the calculation shown in the appendix of Ref. [9]. The operator chosen in Ref. [9] to analytically calculate the transfer matrix element Tfi(0+ 1→ 1/2− 2) between 196Pt and 195Pt is given in Eq. (4) of that paper, apart from a global factor, as T† j(IBFA) =vja† j− j10Nν (2j+1)N2uj ×1 2ljY(2)1 2lj (ujvj+vjuj) Nβ s† da† j(j).(3) This operator is obtained from Eq. (1) when the hole nature of the odd neutron and the projection from IBFA-2 to IBFA-1 (through a multiplying factor Nν/N in the second term of the right-hand side) are taken into account and using Qjj= 1 2lj||Y(2)||1 2lj . Consequently, the “hidden” coupling is s-l, i.e., a† j=a† (1 2l)jand a† j=a† (1 2l)j. The 1/2− 2state reads (Table XV in Ref. [16]) 1 2 − 2=3 5|[N]N(1)2×a† 3/2(1 2) +2 5|[N]N(1)2×a† 5/2(1 2),(4) where the a† jare a† (l1 2)jas stated in Ref. [16]. Then we see that before calculating matrix elements of the transfer operator (3) between states in the even-even nucleus and this n-SUSY state (4) in the odd-even nucleus we have to change the coupling order either in the operator or in the state. For the change in the transfer operator (3) it is enough to include in the second term of the right-hand side of Eq. (3) a phase (−1)j−jwhich makes the operator suitable to be used with the wave functions obtained in Ref. [16]. To perform a consistent calculation of Tfi(0+ 1→1/2− 2) the quantity to be evaluated according to Eq. (A3) in Ref. [9] is β3 2 1 2 2+ β5 2 1 2 √6. If we use the occupation probabilities provided by the n-SUSY [17] (v2 1/2=0.1,v2 3/2=v2 5/2=0.6), β3 2 1 2=− 2 3β5 2 1 2and 014314-2

This value is obtained when, incorrectly, the βjjare calculated from the Qjjassociated to s-lcoupling. It is worth noting that in Ref. [9] the occupation probabilities are obtained from a least square fit to the experimental data and are not those provided by n-SUSY. Nevertheless the above relation for the η’s βis approximately satisfied and the value obtained for Tfi(0+ 1→1/2− 2) is of the order of 10−4 (and the corresponding spectroscopic strength is of the order of 10−8). In Table I we present the results for the spectroscopic strengths obtained in a consistent way using l-scoupling along with the experimental data of Ref. [9] for the 196Pt →195Pt reaction. The calculations are performed using the wave functions provided by the n-SUSY for 196Pt and 195Pt as in Refs. [9,10] and the occupation probabilities provided by n-SUSY as mentioned above. The SUSY labels assigned to each state are the same as in Ref. [9]. In Table I we include two calculations for the spectroscopic strength Glj , the first one (in the sixth column) was obtained using as transfer operator only the a† jterm. It can be observed that already this simple operator gives the main characteristics of the strengths. The second calculation (in the seventh column) was obtained using the complete operator of Eq. (3) but with the mentioned phase in order to have the same coupling in the operator and in the state. In both cases, the theoretical spectroscopic strengths have been normalized for each jto the experimental sum rules. All known states up to around 1500 keV are included in the table. The differences observed between the results shown in the last column in Table I and the ones of Ref. [10] are due to inconsistencies in the code IBFFMTR [19] between the coupling order used in the transfer operator and the one used in the wave functions. Changes due to the different election of the occupation probabilities are tiny. The biggest changes occur for the 3/2−states, especially for the third one at 253 keV; but one also notices a sizable reduction of fragmentation compared to Ref. [10]. III. 196Pt →195Pt DESCRIBED WITH n-SUSY In this section we keep our interest in studying one nucleon transfer spectroscopic strengths by using n-SUSY wave functions and the IBFA transfer operator. Our aim is to look into the differences of the one nucleon transfer strengths induced by different truncations of the transfer operator. We start with the simplest one (a† j) and then add higher order terms (only the ones that change generalized seniority in one unit) in the boson-fermion expansion. Again, we consider the reaction 196Pt →195Pt. To calculate spectroscopic strengths for this one neutron transfer reaction, we described the nuclei involved with the usual n-SUSY Hamiltonian [3] as H=AC2UBF νπ (6)+BC2OBF νπ (6)+CC2OBF νπ (5) +DC2OBF νπ (3)+EC2[Spin(3)],(5) where C2[G] is the quadratic Casimir operator of the group Gbelonging to the group chain Uν(6/12) Uπ(6/4) chosen to describe these nuclei. The parameters appearing in Eq. (5) have been taken from [9] for both nuclei. The choice of the parameters in the Hamiltonian is not important for the calculation of spectroscopic strengths since the eigenstates are given by the quantum numbers labeling the irreducible representations (irreps) of the chain of groups chosen, and they are the same for any choice of parameters. For this reason, any set of parameters given in the literature [7,9] for the description of these nuclei will be good for our calculations. Although the energies will be different for each set, the structure of the wave functions is given by the n-SUSY scheme. Once the states are fixed with the choice of the Hamiltonian, one has to choose the transfer operator. This operator, for boson 014314-4

(6) The coefficients Ajand Bjjwere determined in Ref. [14]. The determination of the expansion coefficients CLjj can be done in principle by an extension of the method presented in [14,15]. This calculation is cumbersome since fermion states with generalized seniorityv=3 are involved and the mapping from the fermion space to the IBFA space is not trivial. Nevertheless, this calculation has been presented recently [12,13] and the values of CLjj can be deduced from the φJ jj of Ref. [13]. In [12,13] it was shown that the addition of the Lj CLjj [(d† d)(L)a† j](j)terms gives rise to sizable changes in the spectroscopic strengths in the three limits studied. For this reason, it is important to use the extended operator, especially in a reaction used to test the occurrence of n-SUSY. Up to now, most calculations in the n-SUSY scheme have been performed taking the simplest transfer operator, which includes only the first term in the series (6). We present here calculations with three different truncations of the operator (6). The first one keeps just the first term. The second includes the first and the second terms. Finally, the third calculation is performed with all the terms given explicitly in (6). By comparing the results of different truncations, we will be able to see the relative importance of the various terms and the relevance of the choice of the transfer operator in describing nuclei in the very restricted dynamical n-SUSY scheme. Parameters γand δare included in (6) in order to weigh the relative importance of the different terms. We have fitted them to get the best agreement with the experimental data. The results of the three different calculations for the spectroscopic strengths, along with the experimental data, are presented in Figs. 1–3 (for j=1/2,3/2, and 5/2, respectively). The logarithmic scales used in the figures are needed because the spectroscopic strengths vary over orders of magnitude. In each figure, T1,T 2, and T3indicate that the transfer operator used includes the first term of the expansion, the first two terms, and the first three terms, respectively. In the calculation including the first two terms in the transfer operator, the parameter γis taken as 1.

Same as Fig. 1, but for j=5/2 transfers. calculation including the three terms in the transfer operator, the parameters γand δhave been fitted using a χ2fit. The values obtained are γ=0.1157 and δ=2.1454, showing that in order to describe the experimental data the relative weight of the third term is important. In Figs. 1–3, we can see that the simplest operator already gives the main observed features but is unable to reproduce the fragmentation observed in the experimental data. The selection rules associated to this operator are very tight. The addition of higher order terms in the expansion (6) improves the description of the spectroscopic strengths. The best results are obtained when the three terms are included. The fragmentation observed experimentally is well reproduced for the three possible jtransferred. Still, a detailed observation of Table I suggests that the description could be improved if some changes were made in the assignation of the quantum numbers. Unfortunately, for these states there is not enough information on electromagnetic properties to support these changes. This information would be highly desirable. The calculations shown in this section have been performed using the IBFA-2 codes ODDPAR,ODDSPEC [20], and ODDSPEC+[21]. They could have been performed with IBFA-1 codes as well, since the bosonic part of the wave functions involved is fully symmetric. In that case a projected transfer operator would have been used, as in Ref. [9]. IV. CONCLUSIONS This paper has shown the importance of keeping the coupling orders of the orbital and spin angular momenta consistent in all stages of a calculation. In our case, we focused on the calculation of one nucleon transfer reactions in the context of the extended n-SUSY. A careful check of the consistent coupling order of the “hidden” land sangular momenta in wave functions and operators should be done at all stages of the calculation. If not, phases will appear that will make results incorrect and they will not even fulfill selection rules. The comparison of the results obtained in a dynamical n-SUSY scheme for the spectroscopic strengths in the 196Pt → 195Pt reaction, using the boson-fermion expansion of the one nucleon transfer operator and truncating at different orders, shows the importance of going to higher order terms to describe experimental data, mainly in a scheme as restrictive as the dynamical n-SUSY. We have performed the first comparison with experimental data of the results obtained using an IBFA boson number conserving image of the one nucleon transfer operator that includes the third term in the boson-fermion expansion and have shown that it produces good results for describing the experimental data of the 196Pt →195Pt one neutron pickup reaction.
