Abstract
The basic ideas of Brueckner's self-consistent nuclear model are applied in a simplified, approximate form to the case of a finite nucleus. It is shown that it is possible to reconcile the observed values of surface energy and surface thickness, to explain the greater extension of the nuclear potential compared with the charge distribution, and also to fit the well-depth of the optical model for nucleon scattering.Keywords
