Abstract
We study the equation of states of symmetric and pure neutron matter in the SkyrmeHartree-Fock (SHF) model with tensor corrections. We are aware now that the pion exchange interaction has a significant contribution to nuclear structure in light nuclei. The pion generates a strong tensor interaction between two nucleons, which cannot be treated within the Hartree-Fock framework for the spin-saturated system such as homogeneous nuclear matter. Therefore, we study the role of the tensor interaction based on the SHF model, in which we extend it by explicitly introducing two-particle-two-hole (2p-2h) excitations for the treatment of the tensor interaction in symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter. We are able to describe infinite matter very well using the SHF model with tensor corrections. We also discuss the connection between the symmetry energy and the tensor interaction in this framework.
