We examine the response of closed-shell nuclei using a correlated interaction, derived with Unitary Correlation Operator Method (UCOM) from Argonne V18 potential, in second RPA (SRPA) calculations. The same two-body interaction is used to derive Hartree-Fock ground state and SRPA equations. Our results show that coupling particle-hole states higher-order configurations produces sizable effects compared first-order RPA.
