Abstract

The weak dynamic form factors of cold neutron matter have been calculated within correlated basis function (CBF) theory using a realistic Hamiltonian. The results show that the effect of nucleon-nucleon correlations on the density and spin-density responses are different. The role of long-range correlations has been investigated comparing the CBF responses to those resulting from Landau theory of Fermi liquids. The neutrino mean free path has been obtained combining the two approaches.
