Abstract

We refine the approximate energy expression for neutron matter by taking into account three-body cluster terms with tensor correlations. The energy expression is an explicit functional of two-body distribution functions and used conveniently in the variational method. The energy expression proposed previously does not include kinetic energy terms caused by noncentral correlations sufficiently, and the obtained energy is too low. In this study, we refine the energy expression by introducing the main part of the missing three-body cluster terms that are related to the tensor correlations. The refined energy expression automatically guarantees necessary conditions on tensor structure functions. The obtained energy per neutron with the v6'potential is considerably higher than that of the old energy expression.
