Abstract

Nuclear matter properties are calculated using the Schierholz and Thompson-GerstenGreen relativistic potentials. The Brueckner equations for nuclear matter are modified to incorporate corresponding relativistic kinematics. It is found that both relativistic and nonrelativistic one-boson exchange potentials yield overbinding and collapse of nuclear matter. By comparing our relativistic results and earlier non-relativistic results, it is shown that the main deficiency of OBE models is not the use of a non-relativistic limit but is rather the lack of a strong intermediate- and short-range tensor force. The proper treatment of 2π exchange might yield the requisite strong tensor force.

Meson exchange corrections and properties of nuclear matter and neutron matter
1976, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A calculation of meson exchange corrections to the binding energy as function of the density is presented for nuclear matter and neutron matter. The framework is the application of non-covariant perturbation theory to a field theoretical Hamiltonian. Within a Brueckner-type approximation we restrict ourselves to the calculation of those meson exchange corrections which are due to one meson exchange and which produce no mass renormalization corrections. The results are reported in detail and the structure of the results is revealed. As a net effect, we find that our meson exchange corrections give a repulsion in nuclear matter yielding about 5 MeV less binding at the saturation point. For neutron matter, the effects are very small.
Momentum-space OBEP, two-nucleon and nuclear matter data

An OBE model for the two-nucleon problem based on non-covariant perturbation theory
1975, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The NN scattering data and the deuteron properties are calculated within an OBE scheme based upon the treatment of a field theoretical Hamiltonian within old fashioned perturbation theory. The structure of the relevant equations is discussed in detail. The results show that one arrives at a consistent description of NN data — as consistent as with any other OBE model — so that the application of the same scheme to the calculation of meson current corrections to nuclear matter properties should be justified.
Current status of the relativistic two-nucleon one boson exchange potential
1974, Physics Reports
The present status of the two-nucleon potential derived from the one-bosom-exchange model, that is the OBEP, will be discussed in detail. A general investigation of the success, limitations and necessary extensions of this potential model will be performed using our own contributions to this subject as the framework of the present paper. For that reason the OBEP will be applied to the two-nucleon and infinite nuclear-matter system. The OBEP is represented, and all calculations are performed in momentum space. This makes possible the investigation of the influence of the important off-energy shell continuation of the potential due to covariant perturbation theory. In order to carry out the partial wave projection of the quantities involved (both the two-nucleon and nuclear-matter quantities) we use the helicity state formalism as extended by us to the system of six independent off-shell amplitudes. Relativistic effects, such as meson retardation and kinematical corrections of the nucleon motion, turn out to have appreciable. effects.
A Brueckner theory including mesonic degrees of freedom
1974, Nuclear Physics, Section A
A many-body theory is developed where the Hilbert space is allowed to contain states of nucleons and mesons. The basis of the theory is the treatment of a field theoretical Hamiltonian within non-covariant perturbation theory. Only diagrams corresponding to a one boson exchange (OBE) are taken into account. First the two-body scattering problem is developed, yielding a scattering equation corresponding to that of Kadyshevsky. Then the theory is applied to the binding energy problem of nuclear matter in the two hole line approximation with a choice of the single particle spectrum taken analogously to the Brueckner-Bethe theory. The resulting equations contain meson current corrections which are physically interpreted. The standard Brueckner theory with static OBE forces is obtained in an adiabatic limit.
