On the “Anharmonic Effects” on the Collective Oscillations in Spherical Even Nuclei. I

Abstract

A new method which enables us to transcribe the dynamics of the system of even number of fermions into that of the boson system is developed, with the purpose of analysing the “anharmonic effects” on the collective oscillations in spherical even nuclei from the standpoint of the microscopic theory of the collective excitations. In the “harmonic approximation”, a pair of bound quasi-particles is replaced by the “phonon” as an ideal boson. This replacement inevitably leads to neglecting two main effects; the dynamical effect due to the residual interactions omitted under the “harmonic approximation” and the effect of the Pauli-principle among the quasi-particles composing the different pairs. According to our theory, the two effects which cause “anharmonic effects” can be evaluated correctly, in principle. It is not our purpose to go into detailed quantitative calculations, but rather to develop the basic idea.
