Self-consistent calculation of nuclear photoabsorption cross section: Finite amplitude method with Skyrme functionals in the three-dimensional real space

Abstract

The finite amplitude method (FAM), which we have recently proposed (T. Nakatsukasa, T. Inakura, and K. Yabana, Phys. Rev. C 76, 024318 (2007)), simplifies significantly the fully self-consistent RPA calculation. Employing the FAM, we are conducting systematic, fully self-consistent response calculations for a wide mass region. This paper is intended to present a computational scheme to be used in the systematic investigation and to show the performance of the FAM for a realistic Skyrme energy functional. We implemented the method in the mixed representation in which the forward and backward RPA amplitudes are represented by indices of single-particle orbitals for occupied states and the spatial grid points for unoccupied states. We solve the linear response equation for a given frequency. The equation is a linear algebraic problem with a sparse non-hermitian matrix, which is solved with an iterative method. We show results of the dipole response for selected spherical and deformed nuclei. The peak energies of the giant dipole resonance agree well with measurements for heavy nuclei, while they are systematically underestimated for light nuclei. We also discuss the width of the giant dipole resonance in the fully self-consistent RPA calculation.
