Description
We give a review of our research work on the properties of asymmetric nuclear matter within the framework of the Brueckner theory. We pay special attention to the discussion of the three-body force (TBF) effect and the comparison of our results with the predictions by other ab initio approaches. It is shown that TBF is necessary for reproducing the empirical saturation property of symmetric nuclear matter in nonrelativistic microscopic frameworks. The TBF effect on nuclear symmetry energy is repulsive and it leads to a significant stiffening of the density dependence of symmetry energy at supra-saturation densities. Both the TBF-induced rearrangement effect and the ground state correlation effect are crucial for predicting reliably the single particle properties within the Brueckner framework.
