In the CHNC method, the pair-distributions of the interacting particles are calculated using a mapping which ensures that the quantum mechanically correct non-interacting pair distribution function is recovered when the Coulomb interactions are switched off. The value of the method lies in its ability to calculate the interacting pair distribution functions g (r) at zero and finite temperatures. Comparison of the calculated g (r) with results from Quantum Monte Carlo show remarkable agreement, even for very strongly correlated systems.
