Abstract

The theory of nuclear matter is investigated by means of the method of unitary transformations in the special case of point transformations. The general formula for the energy per particle as a function of the density is given in Hartree-Fock approximation being neglected the induced three and more body forces for reasonable correlation functions. This function always shows saturation due to a term proportional tok F 5 in the direct part of the approximation. The physical connexion of this term with the scattering amplitudes of the potential is shown. We point out the equivalence to orderk F 3 of the energy per particle function of the unitary method with Jastrow and separation methods in their simplest form. The saturation properties are calculated for certain classes of correlations using the realistic potential of Gammel, Christian and Thaler.
