Abstract
A simple, practical model for computing the equilibrium thermodynamics and structure of jellium by classical strong coupling methods is proposed. An effective pair potential and coupling constant are introduced, incorporating the ideal gas, low density, and weak coupling quantum limits. The resulting parameter free, analytic model is illustrated by the calculation of the pair correlation function over a wide range of temperatures and densities via strong coupling classical liquid state theory. The results compare favorably with the first finite temperature restricted path integral Monte Carlo simulations reported recently.
