Abstract

We present a full numerical solution of the Migdal--Eliashberg equations for the jellium model of phonon-mediated superconductivity. We find very low critical temperatures below 1~K, in contrast to earlier claims that the jellium model for hydrogen solids might reach room-temperature superconductivity. Our results suggest that full momentum and frequency dependence of the gap function and normal self-energy should be taken into account for accurate Tc estimates.
