Correlations and effective interactions in nuclear matter

Abstract

We performed Self-Consistent Greens Function (SCGF) calculations for symmetric nuclear matter using realistic nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions and effective low-momentum interactions ($V_{low-k}$), which are derived from such realistic NN interactions. We compare the spectral distributions resulting from such calculations. We also introduce a density-dependent effective low-momentum interaction which accounts for the dispersive effects in the single-particle propagator in the medium.
