Consider the ellipse $E$ given by $\frac{x^2}{18}+\frac{y^2}{12}=1$. Let $H$ be the hyperbola whose eccentricity is the reciprocal of the eccentricity of $E$ and whose foci are the same as that of $E$. Let $P$ and $Q$ be the points of intersection of $H$ and the parabola $\sqrt{5} y=x^2$ in the first quadrant. Let $d$ be the distance between $P$ and $Q$.
If $a$ and $b$ are the integers such that $d^2=a+b \sqrt{5}$, then the value of $a-b$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
