Title: MANY-PARTICLE SYSTEMS: III. DETERMINATION OF THE GROUND STATE ENERGY OF A SYSTEM OF N PARTICLES INTERACTING BY ATTRACTIVE INVERSE SQUARE FORCES

Journal Article · · Proc. Phys. Soc. (London)

The energy of a system of N identical interacting particles may be found by considering the equivalent translationinvariant one-particle problem. This is illustrated in the case of attractive inverse-square force interaction. An upper and a lower limit for the ground-state energy is found immediately by integration over a single variable. The energy is determined within 8% and found to be proportional to the cube of the number of particles. (auth)
