Abstract

The three-nucleon cluster correction to the energy per nucleon has been calculated for a nucleon-nucleon interaction of Serber type with a hard core. An approximation due to Moszkowski and Scott was applied for solving the scattering of two nucleons in nuclear matter. It was found that although the hard core has high Fourier components the increase of the cluster correction due to this reason is largely suppressed by the exchange operator. A correction of −0.10 Mev/nucleon was obtained, thus supporting the validity of the Brueckner theory.
