Projection of many-body states with good angular momentum from an initial
state is usually accomplished by a three-dimensional integral. We show how
projection can instead be done by solving a straightforward system of linear
equations. We demonstrate the method and give sample applications to $^{48}$Cr
and $^{60}$Fe in the $pf$ shell. This new projection scheme, which is
competitive against the standard numerical quadrature, should also be
applicable to other quantum numbers such as isospin and particle number.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures, 1 tabl
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
