- 요약Low-energy nuclear physics contains all the natural phenomena pertaining to the interaction between nucleons, with applications ranging from individual nucleons to atomic nuclei to neutron stars. Experimental facilities such as the Facility of Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) explore the properties of nuclei using scattering experiments that will help us address fundamental issues in nuclear physics, such as the properties of nuclear processes in astrophysics, the nature of fundamental symmetries, and the origin of heavy elements. Theoretical low-energy nuclear physics tackles these problems by splitting the field into structure and reactions, where the former deals with the static properties of nuclei, while the latter explores their dynamic properties under scattering processes. However, a solid understanding of the interplay between nuclear structure and reactions is needed to answer the fundamental questions that are being tackled at facilities like FRIB.As part of a systematic approach to treating structure and reactions, we implement the similarity renormalization group (SRG). SRG methods change the theoretical resolution scale (which is set by the maximum momentum components of low-energy wave functions) of structure and reaction components using a specified scheme, which is determined by the form of the initial Hamiltonian and the type of RG evolution being applied. As the SRG evolution uses unitary transformations, observables remain invariant under the evolution, but individual components of structure and reaction will be scale and scheme dependent.By shifting to a lower resolution scale, we can reduce the complexity of these components. The SRG decouples low- and high-momentum physics, allowing for a simplified representation of a Hamiltonian that initially exhibits strong short-range behavior. These "simplified" Hamiltonians have wave functions without short-range correlations (SRCs), allowing for a more rapid convergence of many-body basis expansions. SRG evolution can also influence the properties of nuclear reaction calculations by simplifying the initial and final states in transition matrix elements, with the consequence that the evolved operators in the matrix elements gain induced many-body contributions. Process-independent quantities such as momentum distributions can be extracted from experiment through a factorization of nuclear structure and reaction components. Although the process of factorization causes these process-independent quantities to be scale and scheme dependent, they can be controlled and analyzed systematically by using the SRG.Optical potentials provide a simple way to analyze the many-body dynamics of a nuclear reaction by reducing the problem to a few-body interaction. These optical potentials are non-local, energy dependent, and complex (because of omitted inelastic scattering channels). Optical potentials and SRG methods contain similar attributes, as they both contain features of decoupling degrees of freedom, and they introduce their own form of non-locality. Observing these features of the optical potential under SRG remained an unexplored region of nuclear physics, and is a focus of this thesis.This thesis explores the effects of the SRG on different components of nuclear structure and reaction. On the nuclear structure side, we initially employ the quasideuteron model that models the knockout of high-momentum protons in photo-absorption on nuclei. Using this model, we calculate the Levinger constant, which is used to calculate the cross section for this process, at each RG resolution scale. Using the Levinger constant, we can match the resolution scales of different NN interactions. We also calculate nucleon momentum distributions using low-momentum Woods-Saxon orbitals instead of complicated many-body wave functions that would need to be SRG evolved. We compare results of the SRG-evolved momentum distributions to high-fidelity variational Monte Carlo calculations, and find agreement with the low-resolution calculations, which are much simpler to calculate.On the nuclear reaction side, we explore the properties of optical potentials under the SRG. We initially use a one-dimensional toy model for scattering to calculate the optical potential at each resolution scale. We find that the one-dimensional optical potential exhibits decoupling of high- and low-momentum physics, as well as agreement of the phase shifts with the exact case for the leading-order optical potential after the SRG evolution. The optical potential non-locality also gives way to the SRG non-locality at low RG resolution scales, causing the optical potential to adopt a more universal form. We extend from the one-dimensional case to a realistic three-dimensional d(n,d)n elastic scattering reaction, and construct the optical potential at each resolution scale using the folding potential formalism. In addition, we explore the properties of optical potentials for high-energy scattering by folding the free NN t-matrix with the density matrix to calculatethe optical potential.
