Comparison of Paris potential results for the zero and continuous particle spectrum

The single particle energy is calculated self-consistently in nuclear matter using the Paris potential. Binding energy and wave functions are compared for this choice and the zero particle spectrum. A gain in binding energy of 6 MeV is obtained at normal density of which 5 MeV is due to the ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}S_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}-{}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}D_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}$ channel alone. The wave function for the ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}S_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}-{}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}D_1^{}{}_{}{}^{}$ channel shows marked enhancement in the 0.9-3.0 fm region. The saturation point is shifted to 1.6 ${\mathrm{fm}}^{-1\mathrm{}}$ with a binding energy of about 21 MeV. Real parts of optical model parameters are also deduced and discussed.
