Survey of some nuclear properties given by a nonlocal separable nucleon-- nucleon interaction

We have determined a set of parameters for a nonlocal separable nucleon-nucleon interaction of the Mongan's case IV form. The $M\ensuremath{-}5$ potential thus defined, even if it remains with a poor $D$-state percentage (1.4%), is shown to give a correct description of the saturation of infinite nuclear matter. It appears also that $M\ensuremath{-}5$ gives a correct description of the following nuclear properties: two-nucleon elastic scattering phase shifts below 400 MeV (the phase shifts in the $^{3}S_{1}+^{3}D_{1}$ state are those given by the $M$-IV Mongan's potential, not better) deuteron binding energy and quadrupole moment, scattering length and effective-range low-energy parameters, triton binding energy in a coupled three-body treatment, saturation of infinite nuclear matter, and first-order binding energy of some spherical nuclei. We have compared the results obtained with $M\ensuremath{-}5$ and a Tabakin force in a Hartree-Fock description of some even-even nuclei in the $2s\ensuremath{-}1d$-shell nuclei as previously done by Ford, Braley, and Bar-Touv.
