AI Article Synopsis

  • A new formalism is introduced to analyze how high-momentum responses work in Fermi liquids, particularly focusing on liquid 3He.
  • The theory builds on the existing Gersch-Rodriguez approach and incorporates Fermi statistics with a new term based on the two-body density matrix.
  • By using a realistic momentum distribution derived from diffusion Monte Carlo and adding corrections, the study finds strong agreement with deep-inelastic neutron scattering data.

Article Abstract

A final-state-effects formalism suitable to analyze the high-momentum response of Fermi liquids is presented and used to study the dynamic structure function of liquid 3He. The theory, developed as a natural extension of the Gersch-Rodriguez formalism, incorporates the Fermi statistics explicitly through a new additive term which depends on the semidiagonal two-body density matrix. The use of a realistic momentum distribution, calculated using the diffusion Monte Carlo method, and the inclusion of this additive correction allows for good agreement with available deep-inelastic neutron scattering data.
