Abstract

The connection between the single-particle self-energy and the corresponding conserving particle-hole (ph) interaction, discussed long ago by Kadanoff and Baym, is employed to study the response of 48Ca. Second order self-energy contributions are taken into account in the construction of the energy dependent ph interaction. From this perspective it is possible to make contact with other approaches which also aim to incorporate the coupling to 2p2h excitations within the RPA framework. The method is used to study both the discrete low-energy states as well as the giant resonances in both 48Ca and 48Sc using a realistic G matrix interaction based on meson exchange. The calculated strength distribution compares favorably with experiment but the strength below 15 MeV is still somewhat too large as compared to experiment for all types of excitations. The quenching of magnetic and Gamow-Teller strength due to 2p2h admixture amounts to about 30%.
