Abstract

Using effective field theory methods, we calculate for the first time the complete fourth-order term in the Fermi-momentum or kFask_{\rm F} a_s expansion for the ground-state energy of a dilute Fermi gas. The convergence behavior of the expansion is examined for the case of spin one-half fermions and compared against quantum Monte-Carlo results, showing that the Fermi-momentum expansion is well-converged at this order for kFas0.5| k_{\rm F} a_s | \lesssim 0.5.
