Low-momentum Nucleon-Nucleon Potential and Hartree-Fock Calculations
  A low-momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) potential V-low-k is derived from modern realistic NN potentials by integrating out the high-momentum modes. The smooth V-low-k may be used as input for nuclear structure calculations instead of the usual Brueckner G matrix. Such an approach eliminates the energy dependence one finds in the G-matrix approach, allowing this interaction to be used directly in Hartree-Fock calculations. Bulk properties of 16O have been calculated starting from different NN potentials. Our results, obtained including up to second order contributions in the Goldstone expansion, are in good agreement with experiment.
