Results for Helium-3

Recently I have feed our method1 (ladder+) with the Lennard-Jones potential. The parameters where chosen to resemble the Potential of Helium. (\(e=10.22K\) and \(\sigma=2.556\) Anst.) The result is excellent, as can be seen in the figure below:

The pair distribution function of He-3 in different approximations. The red dots are the DMC results of Casulleras and Boronat.2 The blue solid line is the ladder+ approximation. The dashed lines are two versions of the FHNC//0-EL given in Egger et al. 3

We compare to FHNC//0-EL, where the pair distribution is given by \(g(r)=(1+\Gamma_{dd}(r))g_F(r)\). Alternatively one could calculate the pair distribution from the Fourier-transform of the Static structure: \(g(r)=FT^{-1}[S(q)-1]+1\).
