NEUTRON GAS - TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF THE EFFECTIVE INTERACTION

We investigate the temperature dependence of the effective interaction for a hot neutron gas. We point out that care has to be exercised when extending zero-temperature formalisms to finite temperatures using plausibility arguments. The temperature dependence of the effective interaction, however, is found to cause relatively small changes in the pressure. NUCLEAR STRUCTURE Finite temperature neutron gas.
