Modifications of single-particle properties in nuclear matter induced by three-body forces

TL;DR

This paper investigates how three-body forces influence the properties of nuclear matter, such as spectral functions, self-energy, and effective mass, using a self-consistent Green's functions approach.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of the impact of three-body forces on nuclear matter properties within a self-consistent Green's functions framework.

Findings

Three-body forces significantly modify the spectral function.

Density and momentum dependence are crucial in understanding these effects.

Results enhance the understanding of nuclear matter interactions.

Abstract

Within the self-consistent Green's functions formalism, we study the effects of three-body forces on the in-medium spectral function, self-energy and effective mass of the nuclear matter constituents, analyzing the density and momentum dependence.
