On the Pair Distribution Function of a Hard Sphere Bose System
Leopoldo S. Garcı́a-Colı́n, Jean Peretti
The pair distribution function for a quantum Bose gas is expressed as a power series in terms of the fugacity, the coefficients of which are temperature dependent. For the hard sphere case, these coefficients have been evaluated to the first order in a/λ, (a being the scattering length and λ the thermal wavelength) by using torons with two fixed points, or alternatively U cluster functions. The result gives the first order correction to the ideal gas formula of London and Placzek introduced by the interactions between the particles.
