An effective field theory: applicability to nuclear systems

Abstract:

It is shown that in search of a unified mean field description of finite nuclei and of nuclear and neutron matter, the effective field theory approach constitutes a reasonable framework. The model predicts a soft equation of state consistent with the result of microscopic DBHF theory and recent experimental observations from heavy-ion collision. For finite nuclei, it is found to be as good as the very successful relativistic mean field model NL3. Examples at the limits of nuclear landscape are addressed.
