Charge- and parity-projected Hartree-Fock study with the tensor force of light nuclei

Abstract

We propose a mean field framework in which the charge and the parity symmetries of a single-particle state are broken. We break these symmetries to incorporate the correlation induced by the tensor force into a nuclear mean field model. We perform the charge- and the parity projections before variation and obtain a Hartree-Fock-like equation (charge- and parity-projected Hartree-Fock equation), which is solved self-consistently. We apply the Hartree-Fock-like equation to the alpha particle and find that, by breaking the parity and the charge symmetries, the correlation induced by the tensor force is obtained.
