Physical Review C

Nuclear matter problem in the relativistic Green’s function approach

Abstract

In this paper we present the theory of nuclear matter in the framework of relativistic nuclear field theory utilizing the technique of relativistic many-body Green's functions. The analytic properties of the Green's functions and related quantities are given and used to obtain the final set of equations for the nuclear matter problem. In detail, we have investigated theoretically and numerically the so-called ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{00}$ and ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}^{10}$ approximations. For comparison we also calculated the relativistic Hartree-Fock and the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation, respectively. For masses and coupling strengths we used (phenomenological) parameter sets given by the Bonn and Groningen group. The results of the \ensuremath{\Lambda} approximations are similar to the relativistic Brueckner treatment.

Greensche Funktionen in der Theorie der Kernmaterie

M. K. Weigel, Gerd Wegmann

Abstract The aim of this article is the representation of the theory of nuclear matter with the technique of many‐body Green functions. We have treated the theory of Green functions thoroughly in the first chapters taking support of the functional method, which offers a convenient approach to the construction of the theory. After treatment of the properties of the exact two‐point function and of the effective single‐particle potential, preconditions and properties of the approximate solutions are discussed. Results achieved todate are treated in chapter 6. Brueckner theory and allied methods are not further discussed, since these are sufficiently known. The theory of linear response, being important for the semi‐phenomenological treatment of real atomic nuclei, is presented in appendix A.

Semiclassical expansions of the nuclear relativistic Hartree-Fock theory

M. K. Weigel, S. Haddad, Fridolin Weber

Semiclassical expansions for Green functions, self-energy, phase-space density and density are given and discussed. The many-body problem was treated in the relativistic Hartree-Fock approximation with a Lagrangian with a standard OBE potential structure including the possibility of space-dependent couplings. The expansions are obtained by formulating the many-body problem in the mixed position-momentum (Wigner) representation and application of the h(cross)-Wigner-Kirkwood expansion scheme. The resulting self-consistency problems for the zeroth and second order are formulated in three versions.

Spectral Functions and Properties of Nuclear Matter

V. A. Danilenko, Konstantin A. Gridnev, Alexander S. Kondratyev

The Green’s function method in the Kadanoff-Baym version provides a basic theory for nuclear dynamics which is applicable also to nonzero temperature and to nonequilibrium systems. At the same time, it maintains the basic many-body techniques of the Brueckner theory that makes reasonable a comparison of the numerical results of the two methods for equilibrium systems. The correct approximation to the spectral function which takes into account the widths of energy levels is offered and discussed, and the comparison of the values of binding energy in the two methods is produced.

Comparative study of neutron and nuclear matter with simplified Argonne nucleon-nucleon potentials

M. Baldo, A. Polls, Arnau Rios +2 more

We present calculations of the energy per particle of pure neutron and symmetric nuclear matter with simplified Argonne nucleon-nucleon potentials for different many-body theories. We compare critically the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock results to other formalisms, such as the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone expansion up to third order, self-consistent Green's functions, auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo, and Fermi hypernetted chain. We evaluate the importance of spin-orbit and tensor correlations in the equation of state and find these to be important in a wide range of densities.

Relativistic equation of state with short range correlations

P. K. Panda, Débora Peres Menezes, Constança Providência +1 more

Short range correlations are introduced using unitary correlation method in a relativistic approach to the equation of state of the infinite nuclear matter in the framework of the Hartree-Fock approximation. The effect of the correlations in the ground state properties of the nuclear matter is studied.

Nuclear matter as a Fermi liquid

Helmut Hofmann

Abstract This chapter discusses the significance of two body interactions to many-body properties, beginning with a schematic model showing the relevance of short-range correlations beyond those of the Fermi gas. These correlations are studied within Brueckner theory and the help of the Bethe-Goldstone equation, mainly for nuclear matter proper but extensions to finite temperature are presented. Effective forces of Skyrme type are derived through an expansion of the G-matrix to small relative momenta. This scheme hinges essentially on the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approximation, for which results for binding energy and equilibrium density are presented. An alternative variational method based on Jastrow functions is sketched, which demonstrates the necessity for considering effective three body forces. The concept of the nuclear equation of state is presented and parameterized by Skyrme forces with density dependent parameters. Finally, a semi-classical transport theory is presented which accounts for statistical collisions of the nucleons.
