Abstract: (Elsevier)
The quantal RPA corrections to the nuclear partition function are studied for hamiltonians with a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. In the path-integral formulation, the RPA corrections are obtained as small amplitude fluctuations around the static paths. For a realistic hamiltonian, the quantal corrections are found to effect the level density mainly by lowering the spectral energies.
