Abstract

Differences in the evalution of the saturation properties of infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei are discussed. It is demonstrated that ground-state properties of finite nuclei are much more affected by the finite range of realistic nucleon-nucleon interactions than the saturation point of nuclear matter. Therefore very simple local-density approximations in calculating properties of finite nuclei are not reliable. The finite range effects yield a larger incompressibility for finite nuclei as compared to nuclear matter.
