CORRELATED BASIS FUNCTION RESULTS FOR THE ARGONNE MODELS OF NUCLEAR-MATTER

Correlated basis function calculations of the binding energy, the optical potential and the self-energy of nuclear matter models based on the Argonne upsilon14 interaction are presented. The results obtained are compared with the existing correlated basis calculations performed for corresponding models based on the Urbana upsilon14 potential. The two potentials lead to significative differences in the self-energy and related quantities. The results show an overall agreement with calculations based on Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory.
