Momentum dependence of the mean field and equation of state of nuclear matter Original Research Article

The momentum and density dependence of the mean field and other properties of nuclear matter are studied with finite-range effective interactions having different functional forms by evaluating the single-particle momentum distribution function self-consistently. In these calculations relativistic effects and supraluminous behaviour of nuclear matter are also taken into account. The equation of states obtained from these effective interactions are used to study liquid–gas phase transition in nuclear matter.
