Abstract
We determine the saturation properties of nuclear matter within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach based on a large set of modern nucleon-nucleon potentials and confirm the validity of the Coester band. The improvement of the saturation point when including nuclear three-body forces is pointed out and comparison with the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock results is made.
