Ground state correlations and charge transition densities

Abstract

The effect of the ground state correlations on the charge transition densities of the quadrupole vibration states in spherical nuclei is studied. The problem for the ground state correlations beyond the RPA leads to a non-linear system of equations, which is solved numerically. The calculations when the ground state correlations are taken into account give a 30% depletion of the charge transition density in the nuclear interior in comparison with the RPA calculation.
