The tensor force contributions to the Skyrme EDF - results in deformed systems P. D. Stevenson and E. B. Suckling FIDIPRO workshop April 2009 - Finland The role of the tensor force within the Skyrme Hartree-Fock model for deformed systems Motivation • The tensor term was originally included by Skyrme in his interaction, but has been studied little until recently • It produces several terms in the EDF which are poorly constrained by existing fits • Many of the terms include time-odd densities and currents which might have important effects in time-dependent phenomena • We want to explore these in our 3D TDHF code E.B. Suckling and P.D. Stevenson FIDIPRO-EFES Workshop 2009 The role of the tensor force within the Skyrme Hartree-Fock model for deformed systems The Tensor Force • The tensor force originates from 1- π exchange and induces strong correlations between single-nucleon orbitals with different isospin T. Otsuka et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 232502 (2005) • This results in a contribution to binding energy and spin-orbit splitting • In mean-field models the effect on spin-orbit splitting dominates E.B. Suckling and P.D. Stevenson FIDIPRO-EFES Workshop 2009 The role of the tensor force within the Skyrme Hartree-Fock model for deformed systems Theoretical Framework • The tensor part of the Skyrme effective interaction is written in terms of coupling strength parameters U T: T 1 2   1 2 
