Separation of the monopole contribution to the nuclear Hamiltonian

Andr'es P. Zuker, Marianne Dufour

It is shown that the nuclear Hamiltonian can be separated rigorously as $\mathcal{H}={\mathcal{H}}_m+{\mathcal{H}}_M.$ For sufficiently smooth forces the monopole part ${\mathcal{H}}_m$is entirely…
