Influence of theΔresonance on ground-state properties of nuclei

Abstract
Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculations on O16 are presented using a one-boson-exchange potential, which includes the Δ(1236) resonance in all partial waves. The repulsive effect from the explicit treatment of the Δ is considerably weaker than for the nuclear matter system. This density dependence of the repulsion leads to NN interactions, which may describe the energies of finite nuclei as well as of nuclear matter.
