Sažetak (engleski)

In a recent article by C. Barbieri, E. Caurier, K. Langanke, and G. Mart\'inez-Pinedo~\cite{;Bar.08};, low-energy dipole excitations were studied in proton-rich ${;32, 34}; Ar with random-phase approximation (RPA) and no-core shell model (NCSM) using correlated realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions obtained by the unitary correlation operator method (UCOM)~\cite{;Fel.98};. The main objective of this Comment is to argue that the article~\cite{;Bar.08}; contains an inconsistency with respect to previous study of excitations in the same UCOM-RPA framework using identical correlated Argonne V18 interaction~\cite{;Paa.06};, it does not provide any evidence that the low-lying state declared as pygmy dipole resonance in ${;32}; $Ar indeed has the resonance-like structure, and that prior to studying exotic modes of excitation away from the valley of stability one should ensure that the model provides reliable description of available experimental data on nuclear ground state properties and excitations in nuclei. Although the authors aimed at testing the UCOM based theory at the proton drip line, available experimental data that are used as standard initial tests of theory frameworks at the proton drip line have not been considered in the UCOM case (e.g., binding energies, one-proton separation energies, two-proton separation energies).
