Abstract
The influence of the Coulomb force between protons on nuclear radii is calculated by using the minimum property of the energy eigenvalue. Several different methods of estimating the compressibility of nuclear matter yield qualitatively concordant results. A small correction to the Coulomb energy is required by the finite value of the compressibility. This correction, which may be called the Coulomb "expansion" energy, is proportional to the square of the Coulomb energy.Keywords
