Nuclear liquid-gas phase transition with finite range force
Description
The possibilities of the occurrence of liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter and finite nuclei are investigated in the framework of temperature-dependent Hartree-Fock theory employing the finite-range Brink-Boeker effective interaction. The equation of state at subnuclear density is obtained. It is found that for infinite nuclear matter critical temperature for the phase transition is substantially reduced because of the finite-range nature of the force as compared to those obtained using zero-range forces. When finite-size effect and Coulomb force are taken into account, critical temperature is found to be around 8 MeV
