From atomic helium to nuclear matter

Differences between the quasiparticle and the bare particle, as constituents of Fermi systems, mainly result from the effects of correlations. Comparative studies performed in liquid helium and indicating interesting similarities in the single particle properties of Bose and Fermi liquids will be discussed, also in connection with the theoretical and experimental quasihole strength in nuclei. A new Quantum Monte Carlo method for nuclear systems is also outlined
