For the first time, we show quantitatively that the inclusion in the effective theory of vector meson self-interactions and scalar-vector cross-interactions explains naturally the recent experimental observations of the softness of the nuclear equation of state, without losing the advantages of the standard relativistic model for finite nuclei.8 p.application/pdfeng(c) Elsevier B.V., 2004Física nuclearMecànicaCosmologiaTeoria quàntica de campsCol·lisions (Física nuclear)Nuclear physicsMechanicsCosmologyQuantum field theoryCollisions (Nuclear physics)info:eu-repo/semantics/article5188002013-09-02info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
