Abstract
The lowest-order variational method with short-range correlations restricted to nearest neighbours is extended to treat the tensor force in nuclear matter. Calculations based on the soft-core Reid potential give −9.8 MeV binding energy per nucleon at equilibrium k F = 1.43 fm −1. The nuclear matter results from k F = 0.7 to 1.8 fm −1 are in very close agreement with those of the Brueckner-Bethe calculations.
