Description

The Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) approximation, which has been successful in describing the saturation properties of infinite nuclear matter, is extended to the calculation of finite nuclei. As an example the ground-state properties of 16O are discussed. Inclusion of the relativistic effects yields a considerable increase for the radius of the charge distribution with essentially no change of the calculated binding energy. This improves the agreement with the experimental data considerably. (orig.)
