Abstract
A quadratic dependence on momentum is assumed for the two-nucleon interaction energy in the independent-particle model, and is used in a study of the nuclear binding energy and symmetry energy. The corresponding optical potentials for elastic nucleon scattering are discussed. The semiempirical interaction used is compared with the two-body potentials commonly used in shell-model calculations. These are found to be inadequate.
