Isoscalar and Isovector Giant Monopole Resonances from a Continuum Hartree-Fock Method

Abstract

We motivate and summarise some recent results in the application of formally exact boundary conditions in nuclear time-dependent Hartree-Fock calculations, making use of Laplace transformations to calculate the values of the wave functions at the boundaries. We have realised the method in the case of giant monopole resonances of spherically-symmetric nuclei, and present strength functions of 16O and 40Ca using a simplified version of the Skyrme force, showing that no artefacts from discretisation occur as contaminatnts
