Properties of Skyrme force as a residual interaction in beyond mean-field theories

Abstract

In an effort to find an effective interaction which can consistently be used for both the mean-field part and the residual part in beyond mean-field theories, properties of the Skyrme interactions as a residual interaction are investigated. The time-dependent density-matrix theory (TDDM) is used as a beyond mean-field theory and the ground states of $^{16}$O and $^{40}$Ca are calculated using the five standard parametrizations of the Skyrme interaction which differs in density and momentum dependence. It is found that the Skyrme interaction which has strong density dependence and weak momentum dependence induces substantial ground-state correlations comparable to the results of other theoretical calculations.
