Five-body resonances of 8C using the complex scaling method

Abstract

We study the resonance spectroscopy of the proton-rich nucleus 8C in the alpha+p+p+p+p cluster model. Many-body resonances are treated on the correct boundary condition as the Gamow states using the complex scaling method. We obtain the ground state of 8C as a five-body resonance for the first time, which has dominantly the sub-closed (p_{3/2})^4 configuration and agrees with the recent experiment for energy and decay width. We predict the second 0+ state with the excitation energy of 5.6 MeV, which corresponds to the $2p2h$ state from the ground state. We evaluate the occupation numbers of four valence-protons in the 8C states and also the J^πdistribution of proton-pair numbers of the two 0+ states of 8C. The ground state involves a large amount of the 2+ proton-pair fraction, while the excited 0+_2 state almost consists of two of the 0+ proton pairs, which can be understood from the (p_{3/2})^2(p_{1/2})^2 configuration. We also discuss the mirror symmetry between 8C and 8He with an alpha+four nucleon picture. It is found that the 0+ states retain the mirror symmetry well for the configuration properties of two nuclei.
