Manisa, K.Erdogan, M.Bostan, S.2020-03-262020-03-2620151221-146Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/32557The parameters of effective Skyrme interaction are determined by using Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations that accurately reproduce the properties of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter. The realistic Urbana V-14 nucleon nucleon interaction potential of Lagaris and Pandharipande was used in the VMC calculations with addition of a phenomenological density-dependent term to simulate many-body interactions. A new Skyrme parameter set SKaan5 is found to consistently reproduce the characteristics of the nuclear matter obtained from VMC calculations. The properties of symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter are calculated by the new Skyrme parameter set. It is shown that the new Skyrme parameter set SKaan5 satisfy the properties of symmetric nuclear matter, such the binding energy, saturation density and incompressibility. Also, the results obtained by using the new Skyrme parameter set are in good agreement with those obtained by other different Skyrme parameter sets in the literature.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNuclear matterasymmetric matterequation of stateSkyrme interactionArticle6003.04.2020429443Q2WOS:000354594500011Q2
