Incompressibility of nuclear matter, and Coulomb and volume-symmetry coefficients of nucleus incompressibility in the relativistic mean field theory.

Incompressibility of nuclear matter, and Coulomb and volume-symmetry coefficients of nucleus incompressibility in the relativistic mean field theory ABSTRACT The volume coefficient K(=incompressibility of the nuclear matter), the Coulomb coefficient K c , and the volume-symmetry coefficient K vs of the nucleus incom-pressibility are studied in the framework of the relativistic mean field theory, with aid of the scaling model. It is found that K = 300 ± 50MeV is necessary to account for the empirical values of K v , K c , and K vs , simultaneously. The result is independent on the detail descriptions of the potential of the σ-meson self-interaction and is almost independent of the strength of the ω-meson self-interaction.
