Abstract

The Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) approximation, which has been successful in describing the saturation properties of infinite nuclear matter, is extended to the calculation of finite nuclei. As an example the ground-state properties of 16O are discussed. Inclusion of the relativistic effects yields a considerable increase for the raduis of the charge distribution with essentially no change of the calculated binding energy. This improves the agreement with the experimental data considerably.

      However, due to considerable numerical difficulties, such a project was extremely challenging and a full solution was for a long time not possible. Müther et al. [190,191] started with a non-relativistic BHF code for finite nuclei [192] and took relativistic effects into account using the effective density approximation. More investigations were mainly based on the local density approximation (LDA) [38].
