Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The coupled cluster method (CCM) is nowadays recognised as providing one of the most universal, most widely applied, and most accurate in practice of all available microscopic formulations of quantum many-body theory. The UMIST group has pioneered the development of the CCM and now has unrivalled expertise in its use in both nuclear and condensed matter physics. The recent appointment of the co-investigator brings complementary nuclear physics expertise, especially in the important area of theories of large-amplitude collective motion, which have much in common with the CCM. We shall exploit this unique combination of expertise, both at the formal level and in applications which include: (i) Hamiltonian lattic gauge field theories, particularly for the glueball spectrum and Wilson loops; (ii) other model field theories in (sub)nuclear physics, including anharmonic oscillators, Phi^4 field theory, and realistic models of interacting pions and nucleons; (iii) the use of the Skyrme model, where we wish to shed light on the NN force and to develop a self-consistent approach to the incorporation of strangeness; (iv) extremely accurate calculations of the structure of light and medium-mass nuclei using realistic NN potentials; and the microscopic study of (v) superdeformed nuclei and (vi) nuclei near the neutron-drip line.
