Abstract

The technique of lowest-order constrained variational calculations used by the authors to study the bulk properties of homogeneous, quantal fluids is extended for use in discussing the ground-state properties of finite nuclei.

The significance of various constraints in finite systems is discussed. It is shown that the saturating effects of explicit allowance for N*(1234) excitations is essential if the calculations are to yield sensible binding energies and RMS radii.

Specific application is made to the light closed-shell nuclei ⁴He, ¹²C and ¹⁶O.
