Abstract

The total binding energy of nuclei is determined by means of many-body field theory. The problem is then reduced to finding the energy-dependent average potential (mass operator) and solving the single-particle equations of motion. Such a potential can be established phenomenologically by using data on low excitations and reactions knocking out nucleons from deep “hole” levels. Calculations of the total binding energy of the nuclei 16O, 40Ca and 58Ni with this potential are in satisfactory agreement with experiment.
