Abstract

Linear response theories in the continuum capable of describing continuum spectra and dynamical correlations are presented. Our formulation is essentially the same as the continuum random-phase approximation (RPA) but suitable for uniform grid representation in the three-dimensional (3D) Cartesian coordinate assuming no spatial symmetry. Effects of the continuum are taken into account either by solving equations iteratively with a retarded Green's function or by an absorbing boundary condition. The methods are applied to giant resonances in a deformed nucleus 12C.
