Showing papers by "Victor F. Weisskopf published in 1957"

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the existence of nuclear matter and the independent particle description of its properties implies by itself that the average potential energy is momentum dependent, and that this momentum dependence is expressed in terms of an effective mass m ∗, one gets m/m ∗ = 3 2+( 5 2 )(P/T f ) where P is the packaging fraction and Tf the Fermi kinetic energy.
