We construct a relativistic framework which takes into pionic correlations(2p-2h) account seriously from both interests: 1. The role of pions on nuclei. 2. The partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium.

There are two strong motivations: 1. Ab initio calculation by Argonne-Illinois group. 2. Gamow-Teller transition strength distribution with high resolution at RCNP.

The pionic correlation(2p-2h) in the ground state produces the strong attractive forceat medium interaction range(~1 fm).

Our framework and its essential points to treat the pionic correlation explicitly. (spherical pion field ansatz)What we are doing now.(including the higher partial states of pions.)

4HeRelation between pionic correlation and kinetic energy.

Particle states have a rather compact distribution comparing withthat of RMF solution without pionic correlation.

Intrinsic single particle-states are expanded in Gaussian basis.

High-momentum components are reflected in the wave function.

Introduction of higher-spin pion field

Ground state wave function

We construct the 2p2h states using the RMF basis.

Hamiltonian

As for σ and fields, we take the mean field approximation.

Matrix element

Single-particle states given by RMF basis.

Radial parts are expanded in the Gaussian.

Energy minimization conditions

First minimization step

Second minimization step

This minimization is crucial important point in this frameworkin order to have significant wide variational space.At this step the high-momentum components are includeddue to pionic correlations.

Summary

2. The pions play the role on the origin of jj-magic structure.

3. The validity of above statement will be conformed theoretically by including the higher partial states of pions.

We should consider the relation between physical observables and high-momentum components.

As for the future subjects:

1.The pionic correlation favors to including high-momentum components due to the pseudo-scalar nature.

Example

48Ca(p, p’) Ep = 200 MeV, = 0 degree (IUCF data, analyzed by Y. Fujita.)

1. There are many tiny peaks.

Tiny peaks spread in significant wide energy region.

We have to know the dependence of the distribution pattern on the momentum spacewhere pionic correlation works.
