THE TENSOR INTERACTION AND NUCLEAR MATTER
The separation method of Moszkowski-Scott has been applied to the calculation of the properties of nuclear mat reasonable agreement with two-body data. Calculations with the potential of Brueckner - Gammel gave E/A = -14.2 Mev at an equilibrium density corresponding to kf = 1.5 f/sup -1/ The difference from the results of B and (may be caused by slow convergence of the series (especially in the tripleteven state where the tensor interaction has a large second order contribution). An important factor in obtaining nuclear saturation is shown to be the weakening of tensor interaction effects by the Fermi sea. Evidence for this may also be seen from the results obtained using a different two nucleon potential which, however, still gives good fits to two body data. The potential chosen has a much weaker tensor component and shows no sign of saturation at norrml densities (at kf = 1.5 f/sup -1/, E/A = -23.4 Mev). The difference in the two results appears to be much larger than can be accounted for either by higher order terms or by differences in the phase shlft approximation to the reaction matrix. (auth)
