Short-range expansion for the quantum many-body problem

Ronen Weiss, Diego Lonardoni, Stefano Gandolfi

In this work we derive a systematic short-range expansion of the many-body wave function. At leading order, the wave function is factorized to a zero-energy -wave correlated pai…

The asymptotic behaviour of the many-body coupled cluster amplitudes

Saar Beck, Ronen Weiss, Nir Barnea

We analyze the asymptotic behaviour of the coupled cluster many-body wave-function in the limit of highly excited two- and three-particles states. We find that in this limit the di…

Nuclear three-body short-range correlations in coordinate space

Ronen Weiss, Stefano Gandolfi

We study the effects of three-nucleon short-range correlations on nuclear coordinate-space densities. For this purpose, novel three-body densities are calculated for ground state n…

On nuclear short-range correlations and the zero-energy eigenstates of the Schrodinger equation

Saar Beck, Ronen Weiss, Nir Barnea

We present a systematic analysis of the nuclear 2 and 3-body short range correlations, and their relations to the zero-energy eigenstates of the Schrodinger equation. To this end w…

Isospin-symmetry implications for nuclear two-body distributions and short-range correlations

R. Weiss, A. Lovato, R. B. Wiringa

We study the implications of isospin symmetry in nuclear systems on two-body distributions and derive relations between different densities or momentum distributions of a given nuc…

Neutrinoless double-beta decay: combining quantum Monte Carlo and the nuclear shell model with the generalized contact formalism

Ronen Weiss, Pablo Soriano, Alessandro Lovato +2

We devise a framework based on the generalized contact formalism that combines the nuclear shell model and quantum Monte Carlo methods and compute the neutrinoless double-beta deca…

Generalized Contact Formalism Analysis of the He Reaction

J. R. Pybus, I. Korover, R. Weiss +7

Measurements of short-range correlations in exclusive He reactions are analyzed using the Generalized Contact Formalism (GCF). We consider both instant-form and light…

Short-range correlations and the charge density

Ronen Weiss, Axel Schmidt, Gerald A. Miller +1

Sophisticated high-energy and large momentum-transfer scattering experiments combined with ab-initio calculations can reveal the short-distance behavior of nucleon pairs in nuclei.…

Energy and momentum dependence of nuclear short-range correlations - Spectral function, exclusive scattering experiments and the contact formalism

Ronen Weiss, Igor Korover, Eliezer Piasetzky +2

Results of electron-induced one- and two-nucleon hard knockout reactions, and , in kinematics sensitive to nuclear short-range correlations, are studied using…

The Nuclear Contact Formalism - the Deuteron Channel

Ronen Weiss, Nir Barnea

The contact formalism, devised to elucidate the important role of short-range correlations, was recently generalized for systems with coupled channels, such as the deuteron channel…

Short range correlations and the isospin dependence of nuclear correlation functions

Reynier Cruz-Torres, Axel Schmidt, Gerald A. Miller +5

Pair densities and associated correlation functions provide a critical tool for introducing many-body correlations into a wide-range of effective theories. Ab initio calculations s…

Contact formalism for coupled channels

Ronen Weiss, Nir Barnea

The contact formalism, a useful tool for analyzing short-range correlations, is generalized here for systems with coupled channels, such as in nuclear physics. The relevant asympto…

Short range correlations - The important role of few-body dynamics in many-body systems

Ronen Weiss, Ehoud Pazy, Nir Barnea

For many-body systems with short range interaction a series of relations were derived connecting many properties of the system to the dynamics of a closely packed few-body subsyste…

The nuclear contacts and short range correlations in nuclei

R. Weiss, R. Cruz-Torres, N. Barnea +2

Atomic nuclei are complex strongly interacting systems and their exact theoretical description is a long-standing challenge. An approximate description of nuclei can be achieved by…

The Generalized Nuclear Contact and its Application to the Photoabsorption Cross-Section

Ronen Weiss, Betzalel Bazak, Nir Barnea

Using the zero-range model, it was demonstrated recently that Levinger's quasi-deuteron model can be utilized to extract the nuclear neutron-proton contact. Going beyond the zero-r…

Generalized nuclear contacts and the nucleon's momentum distributions

Ronen Weiss, Betzalel Bazak, Nir Barnea

The general nuclear contact matrices are defined, taking into consideration all partial waves and finite-range interactions, extending Tan's work for the zero range model. The prop…

Experimental evaluation of the nuclear neutron-proton contact

Ronen Weiss, Betzalel Bazak, Nir Barnea

The nuclear neutron-proton contact is introduced, generalizing Tan's work, and evaluated from medium energy nuclear photodisintegration experiments. To this end we reformulate the…
