Abstract: (Elsevier)
The properties of symmetric nuclear matter are investigated in a phenomenological non-linear relativistic field theory of nuclear matter. A mean field approximation is made. We find that the equation of state over a considerable density range is determined by the nuclear matter compressibility modulus. A family of equations of state is considered that fit all known bulk properties of nuclear matter, including the energy dependence of the optical potential. The importance of non-Yukawa type nuclear interactions is discussed.
