Dense neutron matter with realistic interactions

摘要: Abstract The energy of the neutron gas is studied with Reid and Bressel-Kerman-Rouben soft-core potentials up to a density 4.5 neutrons fm 3 . Very approximate estimates for solid energies are presented also Hamada-Johnston hard-core potential. short-range correlations treated by simple variational method in which cluster expansion expectation value, Jastrow wave function truncated at lowest-order two-body clusters. Healing constraints introduced variation from qualitative comparison Brueckner theory differential equation obtained correlation minimizing energy. effective interaction use uncorrelated functions, given this procedure interpreted Moszkowski-Scott separation method. It shown that calculations may be reasonable soft core potentials, whereas their applicability potential doubtful ϱ ⪆ 0.7 -3 results give an state dense matter order uncertainty it due neutron-neutron short range, useful star structure investigations.
