* ABSTRACT | |||||||
He will give a brief introduction to the conventional nuclear many-body problem from the perspective of the shell model. He will introduce several techniques (Folded Diagrams, Lee-Suzuki similarity transformations, Bloch-Horowitz, etc...) that have long been used by Shell Model theorists to microscopically derive effective interactions in a truncated Hilbert space, or model space. These methods share many similarities with modern Renormalization Group concepts, which underly the powerful Effective Field Theory approach to low energy systems. These similarities will be discussed, along with a list of what is missing in the traditional methods. Our motivation is to better exploit these similarities, with the hope of removing some of the model dependence and uncontrolled approximations that have plagued traditional approaches, while maintaining the calculational simplicity of the conventional methods. |
