Evolution of shell structure in neutron-rich calcium isotopes    [PDF]

G. Hagen, M. Hjorth-Jensen, G. R. Jansen, R. Machleidt, T. Papenbrock
We employ interactions from chiral effective field theory and compute the binding energies and low-lying excitations of calcium isotopes with the coupled-cluster method. Effects of three-nucleon forces are included phenomenologically as in-medium two-nucleon interactions, and the coupling to the particle continuum is taken into account using a Berggren basis. The computed ground-state energies and the low-lying 2+ states for the isotopes 42,48,50,52Ca are in good agreement with data, and we predict the excitation energy of the first 2+ state in 54Ca to be similar to the one in 52Ca. In the odd-mass nuclei 53,55,61Ca we find that the positive parity states deviate strongly from the naive shell model.
