The virial equation of state of low-density neutron matter
2006
Physics Letters B
We present a model-independent description of low-density neutron matter based on the virial expansion. The virial equation of state provides a benchmark for all nuclear equations of state at densities and temperatures where the interparticle separation is large compared to the thermal wavelength. We calculate the second virial coefficient directly from the nucleon-nucleon scattering phase shifts. Our results for the pressure, energy, entropy and the free energy correctly include the physics of
