Self-consistent scattering theory of the pair distribution function in charged Bose fluids

We use a density-functional theoretical approach to calculate the pair distribution function and the effective interactions in homogeneous fluids of spinless charged bosons. The scheme involves the self-consistent solution of a two-particle scattering problem with an effective scattering potential which embodies many-body effects and is adjusted to the compressibility sum rule. Numerical results are presented over an extensive range of density in both three and two dimensions.
