Density Matrix Renormalization Group and the Nuclear Shell Model

preprint2006arXivOpen access

Abstract

We describe the use of the Density Matrix Renormalization Group method as a means of approximately solving large-scale nuclear shell-model problems. We focus on an angular-momentum-conserving variant of the method and report test results for the nucleus 48Cr^{48}Cr. The calculation is able to reproduce both the ground state energy and the energy of the first excited state, by diagonalizing matrices much smaller than those of the full shell model.
