Title: Ring diagram nuclear matter calculations using Bonn and V/sub 14/ potentials

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

We calculate the particle-particle and hole-hole ring diagrams of nuclear matter to all orders using the Bonn and V/sub 14/ nucleon-nucleon potentials. Comparing with the results obtained from the lowest-order Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations of nuclear matter, these ring diagrams have the effect of both increasing the binding energy per nucleon (BE/A) and decreasing the saturation momentum (k/sub F/). Our calculated values for BE/A in MeV and k/sub F/ in fm/sup -1/ for the V/sub 14/ potential are (16.8, 1.45), and for the Bonn potential (17.5, 1.57). The effect of the ring diagrams is found to be more important for the V/sub 14/ potential than for the Bonn potential. The choice of the model space and the resulting single-particle potential for particles above the Fermi sea are discussed.
