The $$δ$$-shell representation of the nuclear force allows a simplified treatment of nuclear correlations. We show how this applies to the Bethe–Goldstone equation as an integral equation in coordinate space with a few mesh points, which is solved by inversion of a five-dimensional square matrix in the single channel cases and a 10 × 10 matrix for the tensor-coupled channels. This allows us to readily obtain the high-momentum distribution, for all partial waves, of a back-to-back correlated nucleon pair in nuclear matter. We find that the probability of finding a high-momentum correlated neutron–proton pair is about 18 times that of a proton–proton one, as a result of the strong tensor force, thus confirming in an independent way previous results and measurements.
