RELATIVISTIC HARTREE CALCULATIONS OF NUCLEAR COMPRESSIONAL PROPERTIES

Using the scaling model, we calculate within the framework of relativi stic Hartree theory the nuclear breathing-mode energies corresponding to the NL1 and NL-SH parameter sets of the nonlinear sigma-omega-rho m odel. Both of these sets are found to be in disagreement with experime nt and there is a clear need for an improved fit. However, as far as t he nuclear-matter incompressibility K(upsilon) is concerned, neither t he NL1 value, 212 MeV, nor the NL-SH value, 356 MeV, can be excluded.
