Overlap of QRPA states based on ground states of different nuclei
--mathematical properties and test calculations--    [PDF]

J. Terasaki

The overlap of the excited states in quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) is calculated in order to simulate the overlap of the intermediate nuclear states of the double-beta decay. Our basic idea is to use the like-particle QRPA with the aid of the closure approximation and calculate the overlap as rigorously as possible by making use of the explicit equation of the QRPA ground state. The formulation is shown in detail, and the mathematical properties of the overlap matrix are investigated. Two test calculations are performed for relatively light nuclei with the Skyrme and volume delta-pairing energy functionals. The validity of the truncations used in the calculation is examined and confirmed.
