Abstract
Single-particle motion and spin-orbit splitting in finite nuclei are described in a relativistic Dirac-Hartree model for nucleons interacting through exchange of scalar and vector bosons. Parameters are adjusted to reproduce properties of nuclear matter as described by Walecka. The model, applied to O16, successfully explains the sign and size of the spin-orbit interaction. The sensitivity of this result to variations in the parameters of the effective scalar boson is discussed. NUCLEAR STRUCTURE O16; calculated single-particle energies. Relativistic Hartree method, spin-orbit coupling.
