Title: Density matrix renormalization group and the nuclear shell model

Authors: S. Pittel and N. Sandulescu

Abstract: We describe the use of the density matrix renormalization
group method as a means of approximately solving large-scale nuclear
shell-model problems. We focus on an angular-momentum-conserving
variant of the method and report test results for the nucleus
48Cr. The calculation is able to reproduce both the ground-state
energy and the energy of the first excited state, by diagonalizing
matrices much smaller than those of the full shell model.

Regards, Satoshi
