Abstract

In this brief review paper I outline the relevance of the single-particle states for the research in nuclear structure. They can be detected and studied by several experimental methods, like direct reactions, inelastic electron scattering, and so on. On the other hand, their properties are directly linked to the structure of nuclei and they can probe different aspects of the correlations that characterizes the nuclear systems. After a short introduction to the link between nuclear structure and properties of single-particle states, the general theoretical framework for the study of single-particle states is presented. The different experimental probes that can be used in detecting the single-particle states are then described, together with the corresponding theoretical methods. Finally, the presentation focuses on the particle-vibration scheme for the study of the single-particle states beyond the mean field level of approximation and some recent progresses in this field are discussed.

单粒子态作为核结构的探针

摘要

在这篇简短的综述文章中，我概述了单粒子态与核结构研究的相关性。可以通过几种实验方法来检测和研究它们，例如直接反应，非弹性电子散射等。另一方面，它们的性质与核的结构直接相关，并且它们可以探测表征核系统的相关性的不同方面。在简短介绍了核结构与单粒子态性质之间的联系后，提出了研究单粒子态的一般理论框架。然后描述了可用于检测单粒子状态的不同实验探针，以及相应的理论方法。最后，
