Abstract

The response functions of nuclear matter in the region of small momentum transfer are evaluated within the framework of the random-phase approximation. The particle-hole interaction is assumed to be of the one-boson-exchange type and contains both central and tensor terms. Because of the tensor interaction six different channels, corresponding to different values of the total particle-hole spin and isospin, must be distinguished. A method that we have developed before for purely central forces is extended to the present case. This allows us to take properly into account the exchange diagrams, in the limit of small momentum transfer, even when the particle-hole interaction contains a tensor component.
