Can Ab Initio Theory Explain the Phenomenon of Parity Inversion in 11Be?

The weakly bound exotic 11Be nucleus, famous for its ground-state parity inversion and distinctnþ 10Be halo structure, is investigated from first principles using chiral two- and three-nucleon forces.An explicit treatment of continuum effects is found to be indispensable. We study the sensitivity of the 11Bespectrum to the details of the three-nucleon force and demonstrate that only certain chiral interactions arecapable of reproducing the parity inversion. With such interactions, the extremely large E1 transitionbetween the bound states is reproduced. We compare our photodisintegration calculations to conflictingexperimental data and predict a distinct dip around the 3=2−1 resonance energy. Finally, we predictlow-lying 3=2þ and 9=2þ resonances that are not or not sufficiently measured in experiments.

DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.242501

The theoretical understanding of exotic neutron-rich nucleiconstitutes a tremendous challenge. These systems oftencannot be explained bymean-field approaches and contradictthe regular shell structure. The spectrum of 11Be has somevery peculiar features. The 1=2þ ground state (g.s.) is looselybound by 502 keVwith respect to the nþ 10Be threshold andis separated by only 320 keV from its parity-inverted 1=2−

partner [1], which would be the expected g.s. in the standardshell-model picture. Such parity inversion, already noticed byTalmi and Unna [2] in the early 1960s, is one of the bestexamples of the disappearance of the N ¼ 8 magic numberwith an increasing neutron to proton ratio. The next(nþ nþ 9Be) breakup threshold appears at 7.31 MeV [3],such that the rich resonance structure at low energies isdominated by the nþ 10Be dynamics. Peculiar also is theelectric-dipole transition strength between the two boundstates, which has attracted much attention since its firstmeasurement in 1971 [4] and was remeasured in 1983 [5]and2014 [6]. It is the strongest known transitionbetween low-lying states, attributed to the halo character of 11Be.An accurate description of this complex spectrum is

anticipated to be sensitive to the details of the nuclear force[7], such that a precise knowledge of the nucleon-nucleon(NN) interaction, desirably obtained from first principles,is crucial. Moreover, the inclusion of three-nucleon (3N)effects has been found to be indispensable for an accuratedescription of nuclear systems [8,9]. The chiral effectivefield theory constitutes one of the most promising candi-dates for deriving the nuclear interaction. Formulated byWeinberg [10–12], it is based on the fundamental sym-metries of QCD and uses pions and nucleons as relevantdegrees of freedom. Within this theory, NN, 3N, andhigher many-body interactions arise in a natural hierarchy

[10–16]. The details of these interactions depend on thespecific choices made during the construction. In particular,the way the interactions are constrained to experimentaldata can have a strong impact [17].In this Letter, we tackle the question if ab initio

calculations can provide an accurate description of the11Be spectrum and reproduce the experimental groundstate. Pioneering ab initio investigations of 11Be did notaccount for the important effects of 3N forces and wereincomplete in the treatment of either long- [18] or short-range [19,20] correlations, both of which are crucial toarrive at an accurate description of this system.In this Letter, we report the first complete ab initio

calculations of the 11Be nucleus using the framework ofthe no-core shell model with continuum (NCSMC) [21–23],which combines the capability to describe the extendednþ 10Be configurations of Refs. [19,20] with a robusttreatment of many-body short-range correlations. We adopta family of chiral interactions in which theNN component isconstrained, in a traditional sense, to two-nucleon properties[24] and the 3N force is fitted in three- and sometimes four-body systems [25–28]. In addition, we also employ a newerchiral interaction, obtained from a simultaneous fit of NNand 3N components to nucleon-nucleon scattering data andselected properties of nuclei as complex as 25O [29–31].Many-body approach.—The general idea of the NCSMC

is to represent the A-nucleon wave function as the gener-alized cluster expansion [21–23]

How Many-Body Correlations and α Clustering Shape 6He

Carolina Romero-Redondo,1,* Sofia Quaglioni,1,† Petr Navrátil,2,‡ and Guillaume Hupin3,§1Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, P.O. Box 808, L-414, Livermore, California 94551, USA

(Received 1 June 2016; revised manuscript received 15 August 2016; published 23 November 2016)

The Borromean 6He nucleus is an exotic system characterized by two halo neutrons orbiting around acompact 4He (or α) core, in which the binary subsystems are unbound. The simultaneous reproduction of itssmall binding energy and extendedmatter and point-proton radii has been a challenge for ab initio theoreticalcalculations based on traditional bound-state methods. Using soft nucleon-nucleon interactions based onchiral effective field theory potentials, we show that supplementing themodel spacewith 4Heþ nþ n clusterdegrees of freedom largely solves this issue. We analyze the role played by α clustering and many-bodycorrelations, and study the dependence of the energy spectrum on the resolution scale of the interaction.

DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.222501

Introduction.—Achieving a comprehensive and unifiedtreatment of many-body correlations and clustering inatomic nuclei constitutes a frontier for contemporary nucleartheory. A light exotic nucleus that has been challenging ourunderstanding of such complex phenomena based onnucleonic degrees of freedom and high-quality models oftheir interactions (i.e., within an ab initio framework) ishelium-6 (6He). This is a prominent example of Borromeanquantum “halo,” i.e., a weakly-bound state of three particles(αþ nþ n) otherwise unbound in pairs, characterized by a“large probability of configurations within classically for-bidden regions of space” [1]. In the last few years, its bindingenergy [2] and charge radius [3] have been experimentallydetermined with high precision. The 6He ground state (g.s.)is also of great interest for tests of fundamental interactionsand symmetries. Precisionmeasurements of itsβ-decay half-life have recently taken place [4] and efforts are underway todetermine the angular correlation between the emittedelectron and neutrino [5]. To date, traditional ab initiobound-state calculations can successfully describe theinterior of the 6He wave function [6–10], but are unableto fully account for its three-cluster asymptotic behavior.At the same time, the only ab initio study of αþ nþ ndynamics naturally explains the asymptotic configurations,but underbinds the 6He g.s. owing to missing many-bodycorrelations [11,12]. As a result, a comprehensive descrip-tion of the 6He g.s. properties is still missing.In this Letter we present a study of the 6He g.s. in which

both six-body correlations and clustering are successfullyaddressed by means of the no-core shell model withcontinuum (NCSMC) [13]. This approach, introduced todescribe binary processes starting from two-body [14,15]and later three-body [16–18] Hamiltonians, is here gener-alized to the treatment of three-cluster dynamics. Wefurther explore the role of six-body correlations in thedescription of the low-lying αþ nþ n continuum, required

The core eigen-states are also computed in the NCSM, with the same HOfrequency ℏΩ and consistent number of quanta above thelowest-energy configuration Nmax used for the A-nucleonsystem.
