Description
In this talk I will present a method to compute the properties of dilute nuclear matter from quantum field theory at finite density. This approach provides a parameter-free calculation of the energy per particle of nuclear matter relying only on experimental nucleon-nucleon phase shifts. This method can be used to compute the equation of state of dilute symmetric and neutron matter. As practical application I will show how to use the result for dilute neutron matter to calculate the equation of state of neutron stars.
