Description

The relativistic quantum field theory of Walecka is extended to rotating nuclear systems using a mean-field Thomas-Fermi approximation. Self-bound systems exhibit centrifugal stretching and a maximum angular frequency. Systems constrained to a cylindrical box develop central holes for large angular frequencies. (orig.)
