Abstract

We develop a new method to describe electromagnetic observables of open-shell nuclei with two nucleons outside a closed shell. This approach combines the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster method for such systems and the Lorentz integral transform technique, expanding the applicability of coupled-cluster theory for electromagnetic observables beyond closed-(sub)shell nuclei. To validate this new approach, we compute the non-energy-weighted dipole sum rule and the dipole polarizability of 16,24O in both the closed-(sub)shell and the new equation-of-motion coupled-cluster frameworks, finding agreement within error bars. We then analyze the evolution of the dipole polarizability along the oxygen and calcium isotopic chains. Our predictions agree well with available experimental data and other available theoretical calculations for the closed-(sub)shell 16,22O and the open-shell O18. In the calcium isotopes, we observe that our dipole polarizability predictions for open-shell nuclei are lower than those of closed-(sub)shell nuclei. We expect that our predictions for O24 and 54,56Ca will motivate future experimental studies at the drip line.
