Abstract

Recently a number of authors have suggested modifications of the Brueckner theory of nuclear matter so as to include hole-hole interactions, as well as particle-particle interactions. Iwamoto has demonstrated that in a perturbation theory calculation the inclusion of hole-hole interaction makes no change in the ground-state energy through second order. The singular two-body potential between nucleons makes it difficult, however, to conclude anything about the contribution of these terms in nuclear matter. The formal similarity between the equation of Iwamoto and the equation for the energy gap in nuclear matter, coupled with the fact that the energy gap is very small at normal density, indicates that the effect of hole-hole interactions is probably only a very small change in the ground-state energy of nuclear matter. It is the point of this note to show that this conclusion is in fact correct, the demonstration proceeding by use of the separation method for evaluating the energy of nuclear matter.

REFERENCE SPECTRUM METHOD FOR NUCLEAR MATTER

Journal Article Bethe, H; Brandow, B; Petschek, A - Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

BS>A new method is presented for the calculation of the reaction matrix G of the Brueckner-Goldstone theory. The spectrum of the intermediate states is replaced by a reference spectrum'' of the form A + Bk/sup 2/ where the constents A and B are chosen so as to approximate, as closely as possible, the actual particle energies for k between 3 and 8 F/sup -1/. The reason for this choice is explained. With the reference spectrum, the Brueckner integral equation reduces to a differential equation which is easily solved. The case of a repulsive core can be solved explicitly, and canmore »« less

NUCLEAR FORCES AND THE PROPERTIES OF NUCLEAR MATTER

Journal Article Moszkowski, S; Scott, B - Annals of Physics (New York) (U.S.)

The application of the Brueckner theory to the nuclear many-body problem can be greatly simplified if the twonucleon interaction (for any given state and relative momentum is separated into a short range part v/sub s/) and a long range part v1. The cut is made such that v/sub s/ alone gives no phase shift for free particle scattering. If the separation is made in this way, then the presence of nuclear matter. as manifested by the Pauli principle, has only a small effect on the two-particle wave function at short distances. On the other hand, the Pauli principle drastically reducesmore »« less

THE THEORY OF NUCLEAR MATTER

Technical Report Squires, E

The properties of nuclear matter are discussed. The Fermi gas, interactions, perturbation theory, and hard core are described. The two chief approaches to a study of nuclear matter are discussed: the variational method of Jastrow and Dingle which consists of introducing a correlation function in the wave functions which prevents two nucleons from getting too close to each other, and the Brueckner method which replaces the potential energy between two nucleons by another expression which can be related to the reaction matrix for two nucleons and thus evaluated. Formal perturbation expansion of ground state, the low density limit, self-consistency, singularities,more »« less
Particle-hole states in nuclear matter

Thesis/Dissertation Matyas, C

This work deals with the collective excitations in nuclear matter, from the point of view of the TDA approximation. Our calculations involved the construction of a Hamiltonian, expressed as a matrix in the space of particle-hole excitations with a given momentum transfer. We used in this Hamiltonian an average single nucleon potential, and (in some cases) an effective interaction obtained for the potential HEA in the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree Fock theory. The eigenvectors of the TDA-Hamiltonian were used to compute the strength of the collective response of nuclear matter to external probes. Our results, succinctly described in the last section, aremore »« less
SINGLE PARTICLE ENERGIES OF NUCLEAR MATTER AND THE REFERENCE SPECTRUM METHOD (in German)

Journal Article Mittelstaedt, P - Z. Physik

The single-particle energies and the ground-state energy of a superfluid system of nuclear matter were investigated. There were two difficulties in calculating these quantities in the t-matrix approximation: on account of the structure of the t-matrix equation, the single particle energy is a very complicated expression, which cannot be evaluated explicitly in general; and due to the superfluidity of nuclear matter, there are singularities in the t-matrix. To overcome these difficulties, the reference spectrum method, recently proposed by Bethe et al., was proposed. The most important properties of a superfluid medium, the shift of the ground state energy and themore »« less
