Momentum and density dependence of the mean field in nuclear matter

The momentum and density dependence of the single particle potential in nuclear matter is crucial in ascertaining a correct mean field which is the basic input in the Boltzmann transport equation used in the description of heavy-ion collision data at intermediate and high energies and also in the calculation of equation of state of nuclear matter at highly non-equilibrium situations. The purpose of this work is to construct such an effective interaction which could give appropriate high momentum and high density behavior of the nuclear mean field as well as reproduce the correct nuclear matter characteristics
