Abstract

We summarize approaches to a number of many-body problems utilizing moment methods. We develop some tests with valence particle systems and some tests with the soluble Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonian in order to assess accuracy of the moment method approach for finite nuclei. We present results for the binding energy and for the elastic electron scattering cross section of 160 using â realistic microscopic no-core effective Hamiltonian.
