Recent high resolution Compton scattering experiments clearly reveal that there are fundamental limitations to the conventional local density approximation (LDA) based description of the ground state electron momentum density (EMD) in solids. In order to go beyond the framework of the density function theory (DFT) approach in which we start with a singlet pair wavefunction or a 'geminal' from which the many body wavefunction is then constructed by taking an antisymmetrized geminal product (AGP). A relatively simple practical implementation of the AGP method is developed where the one-particle orbitals are approximated by the Kohn-Sham solutions used in standard band computations, and the orbital-dependent BCS energy scale Delta (i) is determined through a readily computed exchange-type integral. The methodology is illustrated by considering EMD and Compton profiles in Li, Be and Al. It is found that in Li the present scheme predicts a substantial renormalization of the LDA result for the EMD; in Be, the computed correlation effect is anisotropic. while in Al, the deviations from the LDA are relatively small. These theoretical predictions are in qualitative accord with the corresponding experimental observations on Li, Be and Al, and indicate the potential of the AGP method for describing correlation effects on the EMD in wide classes of materials.
