On the Relation between Effective Potentials and Realistic Potentials

A velocity dependent effective potential of s- and p-wave interaction denoted by VG2 has been applied to calculate the parameters of nuclear matter. Using this potential, the binding energy of a group of double closed shell nuclei is calculated according to the shell model. Also, the binding energy of ¹²C and ¹⁶O is calculated assuming Brink's model and using the VG2 interaction together with the potential deduced by Arickx et al. Reasonable agreement with experimental data is obtained.
