Abstract
Charge-changing transitions are considered in an extended Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick
(LMG) model taking into account explicitly the proton and neutron degrees of freedom. The
proton and neutron Hamiltonians are taken to be of the LMG form and, in addition, a
residual proton-neutron interaction is included. Model charge-changing operators and
their action on eigenfunctions of the model Hamiltonian are defined. Transition
amplitudes of these operators are calculated using exact eigenfunctions and then the RPA
approximation. The best agreement between the two kinds of calculation is obtained
when the correlated RPA ground state, instead of the uncorrelated HF ground state, is
employed and when the proton-neutron residual interaction, besides the proton-proton and
neutron-neutron residual interactions, is taken into account in the model Hamiltonian.
