東大は一般のアメリカ人高校生が決して読まない雑誌のLGBT作家の文章を問題に出して受験生をパニックに陥らせるような愚劣な真似をやめ、さらには下らないListening問題も出すのをやめて、下記のような、まともな理系向きの文章を問題に出すべきだ。もっとも、このレベルの内容は東大文系学部に屯する教員の知性では理解が及ばないので無理な話だとは思う。要するに東大理系受験者用の問題は理系学部の教員にまかせて、自分たちは引っ込んで口出しするなということだ。
Uncovering the mechanism of chiral three-nucleon force in driving spin-orbit splitting
Abstract
The three-nucleon force (3NF) is crucial in shaping the shell structure of atomic nuclei, particularly impacting the enhancement of spin-orbit (SO) splitting, especially in nuclei with significant deviations from stability. Despite its importance, the specific mechanisms driving this enhancement remain unclear. In this study, we introduce a decomposition scheme based on the rank of irreducible tensors forming the 3NF, derived from chiral effective field theory at next-to-next-to-leading order, to elucidate their influence on SO splitting. Within the shell-model framework, our analysis reveals that the rank-1 component of the 3NF is the primary factor enlarging the energy gap between the 0𝑝3/2 and 0𝑝1/2 single-particle levels in p-shell nuclei, while the rank-2 component makes a subdominant contribution. Since the rank-1 component originates exclusively from the 2π-exchange 3NF, our finding will not depend on the choice of the low-energy constants of contact terms. We also remark on the antisymmetry of the rank-1 3NF, which can affect the quantum entanglement of spin states. This study lays the groundwork for further exploration into this field toward a microscopic understanding of the 3NF impact on the nuclear shell structure.
