Variational calculations of realistic models of nuclear matter

Model for statistical properties of nuclear systems at finite temperature

“…[6] are made with a range of 1/0.7 >::::: 1.43 fm (according to ref. [9]), the range of the one-pion exchange force. Therefore, our model probably underestimates the binding for very dilute uniform distributions.…”

Density-dependent nucleon-nucleon interaction from three-nucleon forces

“…(8) and (13). Let us writeV 123 as a sum of spin-isospin three-body operators multiplied by scalar functions, depending on the relative distances only…”

“…In this paper we follow a different strategy, somewhat along the line of the Three-NucleonInteraction (TNI) model proposed by Lagaris and Pandharipande [13] and Friedman and Pandharipande [14] in the 1980s.…”

“…Neglecting higher order cluster contributions, the functional minimization of H /A leads to a set of six Euler-Lagrange equations, to be solved with proper constraints that force f c and f (p>1) to "heal" at one and zero, respectively. That is most efficiently achieved through the boundary conditions [13,33] …”

Microscopic optical potential with two and three body forces for nucleon–nucleus scattering

“…Here, we use high quality modern local soft core N -N potential Argonne v18 [1] (AV18) with and without two models of three nucleon force: (1) the Urbana IX [2] (UV IX) and (2) the three nucleon interaction model TNI [3,4], obtained in the BHF. We fold the appropriate numerically computed complex reaction matrices (as defined in [5]) over the proton and the neutron density distributions of the target, using the local density approximation to obtain both the real and imaginary parts of the central as well as of the spin -orbit components of the proton -nucleus optical potential.…”
