Correction to the Nuclear-Matter Calculations of Second Order invc

Abstract

A calculation of the correction, second order in $\frac{v}{c}$, to the binding energy of nuclear matter in the first-order Hartree-Fock approximation yields a result of +0.5 MeV per particle at $k_F=1.36\mathrm{}$. The correction becomes large very quickly as the Fermi momentum increases. These results are based on the nonlocal separable potential of Tabakin.
