Self consistent single particle potential and nuclear matter binding energy

We have obtained a self-consistent single-particle potential as a function of momentum for Fermi momenta kF= 1.4 fm. Self-consistent single particle potential is calculated from Brueckner g-matrix using Urbana v-14 interaction. Sixth order polynomial approximation is used as an input for the calculation of g-matrix. After achieving the self-consistent single particle potential we calculate the binding energy of infinite symmetric nuclear matter at different Fermi momenta, using soft-core Urbana v-14 interaction and hard-core Hamada Johnston interaction. Urbana v-14 interaction predicts overbinding of infinite nuclear matter, while HJ interaction predicts an underbound nuclear matter underbound. (author)
