Perturbation Theory with Non-Local Potentials in Nuclear Matter

Abstract

<p> In this thesis, the standard perturbation theory is applied to nuclear matter. The second order term is simplified by the introduction of the K(k,k',q) function which takes care of the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Various potentials are used in the calculation of the first and second order term of the perturbation expansion. The results are then discussed.</p>
