A microscopic self-consistent calculation with saturation diagrams in 16O

Self-consistent calculations are performed in 16O with effective G matrices obtained from two different soft core interactions. The calculations possess the 'triple' self-consistency: (a) on the single particle basis, (b) on the single particle eigenvalues (Brueckner self-consistency), and (c) on the occupation probabilities. Two different procedures of calculating the latter are carried out, one involving a truncation of the unoccupied state space, one involving no truncation. The truncation effects are studied and shown to increase with the hardness of the interaction. A comparison is also made to calculations where the Brueckner self-consistency is satisfied only on the average. The total and single particle removal energies for both forces are quite satisfactory, the Pires-Gogny-de Tourreil interaction performing slightly better than that of de Tourreil-Sprung. The charge radius is approximately 10% too small. (author)
