Investigation of Δ(3,3) resonance effects on the properties of neutron-rich double magic spherical finite nucleus, 132Sn, in the ground state and under compression

Abstract

Within the framework of the radially constrained spherical Hartree–Fock (CSHF) approximation, the resonance effects of delta on the properties of neutron-rich double magic spherical nucleus 132Sn were studied. It was found that most of the increase in the nuclear energy generated under compression was used to create massive Δ particles. For 132Sn nucleus under compression at 3.19 times density of the normal nuclear density, the excited nucleons to Δs were increased sharply up to 16% of the total number of constituents. This result is consistent with the values extracted from relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The single particle energy levels were calculated and their behaviours under compression were examined. A meaningful agreement was obtained between the results with effective Hamiltonian and that with the phenomenological shell model for the low-lying single-particle spectra. The results suggest considerable reduction in compressibility for the nucleus, and softening of the equation of state with the inclusion of Δs in the nuclear dynamics.
