Sumario:A systematic study of the equation of state for symmetric nuclear matter is performed in the framework of a finite-temperature density dependent Hartree-Fock method using the Gogny finite-range effective interaction. Special attention is devoted to the density and temperature dependence of the single-particle spectrum, the effective mass and the momentum distributions. The liquid-gas phase transition and the spinodal lines are discussed, in connection with the breakup of heated nucleus into small clusters that takes place in medium energy heavy ion reactions. The level density parameter, which has been derived by a low temperature expansion of the internal energy, is also discussed. Comparisons with previous calculations using zero range effective interactions are also made. © 1992.
