Variational Monte Carlo method for shell-model calculations in odd-mass nuclei and restoration of symmetry

摘要

Background: While a large-scale shell model calculation (LSSM) is a powerful model to describe the nuclear spectroscopic information, it requires a huge amount of computational resources. As an efficient approximation framework to the LSSM, we have introduced the variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method [T. Mizusaki et al., Phys. Rev. C 85, 021301(R) (2012)]. However, this framework was applicable only to even-mass nuclei.
