Self-Consistent Green Function Method in Nuclear Matter

Abstract EN

Symmetric nuclear matter is studied within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) approach and is extending to the self-consistent Green’s function (SCGF) approach.

Both approximations are based on realistic nucleon-nucleon interaction; that is, CD-Bonn potential is chosen.

The single-particle energy and the equation of state (EOS) are studied.

The Fermi energy at the saturation point fulfills the Hugenholtz-Van Hove theorem.

In comparison to the BHF approach, the binding energy is reduced and the EOS is stiffer.

Both the SCGF and BHF approaches do not reproduce the correct saturation point.

A simple contact interaction should be added to SCGF and BHF approaches to reproduce the empirical saturation point.
