Abstract

The self-consistent reaction-matrix theory of quantum solids is applied to bcc3He and4He. The two-body correlation function is solved numerically in terms of partial waves. The results for ground-state energies, pressures, sound velocities, and phonon-dispersion curves are compared with those obtained by theS-wave correlation function. In both helium isotopes better agreement with experiments is obtained by the partial-wave analysis.
