Abstract

Accurate numerical solutions to the Bethe-Goldstone equation are obtained for nuclear matter with different densities of neutrons and protons, starting with Reid's soft-core potentials. The lowest-order binding energy, with a phase-shift approximation for states of high J, is — 11.1 MeV at saturation density k F = 1.44 fm −. The symmetry coefficient is 31 MeV. A new density-dependent local interaction potential for use in finite nuclei is obtained from the calculation.
