Abstract
The value of the pair distribution function g(r) at contact (r = 0) in a quantum electron gas is determined by the scattering events between pairs of electrons with antiparallel spins. The theoretical results for g(0) as a function of the coupling strength r_s in the paramagnetic electron gas in dimensionality D=2 and 3, that have been obtained from the solution of the two-body scattering problem with a variety of effective scattering potentials embodying many-body effects, are compared with the results of many-body calculations in the ladder approximation and with quantum Monte Carlo data.
