However, its computation as a function of the fragment split is an ill-posed problem that is usually solved through certain assumptions. Arguably, the most widely used method for its computation is the log-third-difference method, which assumes an underlying local Gaussian distribution. Experimental data of the even-odd effect show sharp features and peaks that are a challenge for the log-third difference method (or any method for that matter). This paper presents a detailed study of the performance of the log-third-difference method and describes three strategies for improving the precision and accuracy around these sharp features. The best results are obtained with an iterative application of the method and with the use of a multi-Gaussian fit. A hybrid process combining both corrections is also described and applied to real data. In regions with a smooth behaviour, the direct application of the log-third-difference method remains the best option.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":786,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal A","volume":"60 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These two categories of excitations, however, are traditionally described within different formal schemes, such that vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom are separately treated and coupling effects between those are often neglected. The present work puts forward an approach aiming at a consistent treatment of vibrations and rotations. Specifically, this paper is the last in a series of four dedicated to the investigation of the giant monopole resonance in doubly open-shell nuclei via the ab initio Projected Generator Coordinate Method (PGCM). The present focus is on the treatment and impact of angular momentum restoration within such calculations. The PGCM being based on the use of deformed mean-field states, the angular-momentum restoration is performed when solving the secular equation to extract vibrational excitations. In this context, it is shown that performing the angular momentum restoration only after solving the secular equation contaminates the monopole response with an unphysical coupling to the rotational motion, as was also shown recently for (quasi-particle) random phase approximation calculations based on a deformed reference state. Eventually, the present work based on the PGCM confirms that an <i>a priori</i> angular momentum restoration is necessary to handle consistently both collective motions at the same time. This further pleads in favor of implementing the full-fledged projected (quasi-particle) random phase approximation in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":786,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal A","volume":"60 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1140/epja/s10050-024-01448-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142714658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
