Abstract: | <p> An expression for the semiclassical density of states for a particle in a smooth potential well is obtained from the Kirkwood expansion of the partition function. This expression for the semiclassical density of states is then shown to be essentially equivalent to the expression obtained from the Green's function method of Balian and Bloch.</p> <p> The Strutinsky shell correction to the nuclear binding energy is then analytically shown to be equivalent to the shell correction obtained from a consideration of the semiclassical partition function if certain restrictions on the Strutinsky smoothing parameter can be met.</p> |
