Isospin Projected Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics and its Application to ${}^{10}$B

Abstract

To investigate $pn$ pair correlations in $N=Z=\text{odd}$ nuclei, we develop a new framework based on the generator coordinate method of the $\beta \gamma$ constraint antisymmetrized molecular dynamics. In the framework, the isospin projection is performed before the energy variation to obtain the wave function optimized for each isospin. We apply the method to ${}^{10}\text{B}$ and show that it works well to describe coexistence of $T=0$ and $T=1$ states in low-energy spectra. Structures of low-lying states and $pn$ correlations are investigated. Strong $M1$($0_1^{+}\to 1_1^{+}$) and $E2$($1_1^{+}\to 1_2^{+}$) transitions are understood by the spin excitation of the $pn$ pair and the rotation of a deformed core, respectively.
