Restoring Broken Symmetries for Nuclei and Reaction Fragments

Abstract

In typical microscopic approaches, particularly when pairing correlations are present, nuclei and nuclear fragments do not have well defined quantum numbers and symmetries should be restored. I present here a formalism for the simultaneous projection of total particle numbers of a nucleus, particle number of reaction fragments, and of the reaction fragment intrinsic spins and of their correlation, and also for their symmetry restored densities and total energies. These new formulas for the symmetry restored quantities, are free of any singularities, unlike those in the previously introduced prescriptions.
