description

The extrapolation properties of the relativistic mean-field model are investigated in nuclear matter. The results of a recent relativistic Bethe-Brueckner-Gatdstone calculation are taken as ‘data”. Fits in a window of normal nuclear densities are extrapolated to large densities and compared with the ‘data’. We find large discrepancies which hint at an insufficiency of the model in its present parametrisation.
