Phase shifts and in-medium cross sections for dressed nucleons in nuclear matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dressing of nucleons as embodied in single-particle spectral functions is incorporated in the description of nucleon-nucleon scattering in nuclear matter at a density corresponding to kF51.36 fm . In order to clarify the new features associated with the complete off-shell behavior of the single-particle motion, results involving mean-field particles are also presented with special emphasis on the behavior of the phase shifts when bound pair states occur. Both the S0 and S1D1 channels exhibit this feature at the considered density for mean-field particles at zero temperature. An important tool to assess the effect of the dressing of the particles is the two-particle density of states. A sizable reduction with respect to the mean-field density of states is obtained. At 2eF this reduction corresponds to zkF 2 , where zkF is the strength of the quasiparticle pole at kF , and it can therefore be as large as 0.5. This reduction has significant consequences for the strength of pairing correlations both in the S1D1 channel where it leads to a dramatic decrease of the attraction at the Fermi energy and for the S0 channel which no longer shows a pairing signal. Phase shifts and cross sections for dressed particles are determined based on expressions which fold the effective interaction with the dressed but noninteracting two-particle spectral function. This folding procedure yields similar results to an ‘‘on-shell’’ prescription reminiscent of the result for free or mean-field particles, except for cross sections deep in the Fermi sea. Comparison of phase shifts and cross sections to the case of mean-field particles indicates that smaller phase shifts in an absolute sense and considerable reductions of the in-medium cross sections for dressed particles are obtained. It is shown that while in many cases these results imply a weakening of the effective interaction, this is not the case for S0 interactions deep in the Fermi sea. @S0556-2813~99!06612-1#

We derive in-medium nucleon-nucleon (NN) cross sections in a microscopic model. Our calculations are based upon the Bonn NN potential and the Dirac-Brueckner approach for nuclear matter. We consider energies up to 300 MeV (in the laboratory frame) and densities up to twice nuclear matter density. Our results deviate substantially from cross section parametrizations that are commonly used in the...

The gap equation with dressed propagators is solved in symmetric nuclear matter. Nucleon self-energies are obtained within the self-consistent in medium T matrix approximation. The off-shell gap equation is compared to an effective quasiparticle gap equation with reduced interaction. At normal density, we find a reduction of the superfluid gap from 6.5MeV to 0.45MeV when self-energy effects are...
