One-boson-exchange potential and effective interaction

Abstract

Abstract Two one-boson-exchange potentials (OBEP) previously constructed by the authors are employed for deriving density-dependent local effective interaction potentials for use in finite nuclei. The definition of the effective interaction is based on nuclear matter Brueckner theory and is equivalent to that given by Siemens. The mathematical formalism and numerical methods, however, are different from former work, as most of the calculations in this work take place in the momentum space, where the OBEP are given. The resulting effective interactions are compared to that based on the Reid soft-core potential. The density dependence of the different effective interactions is demonstrated over a vast range.
