Self-consistent Hartree-Fock based random phase approximation and the spurious state mixing

We use a fully self-consistent Hartree$-$Fock (HF) based continuum random phase approximation (CRPA) to calculate strength functions $S(E)$ and transition densities $\rho_t(r)$ for isoscalar giant resonances with multipolarities $L = 0$, 1 and 2 in $^{80}Zr$ nucleus. In particular, we consider the effects of spurious state mixing (SSM) in the isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR) and extend the projection method to determine the mixing amplitude of spurious state so that properly normalized $S(E)$ and $\rho_t(r)$ having no contribution due to SSM can be obtained. For the calculation to be highly accurate we use a very fine radial mesh (0.04 fm) and zero smearing width in HF$-$CRPA calculations. We first use our most accurate results as a basis to establish the credibility of the projection method, employed to eliminate the SSM, and then to investigate the consequences of the common violation of self-consistency, in actual implementation of HF based CRPA and discretized RPA (DRPA), as often encountered in the published literature. The HF$-$DRPA calculations are carried out using a typical box size of 12 fm and a very large box of 72 fm, for different values of particle-hole energy cutoff ranging from 50 to 600 MeV.
