Abstract: In this article we present a classical potential that respects the Pauli exclusion principle andcan be used to describe nucleon-nucleon interactions at intermediate energies. The potential dependson the relative momentum of the colliding nucleons and reduces interactions at low momentumtransfer mimicking the Pauli exclusion principle. We use the potential with Metropolis Monte Carlomethods and study the formation of finite nuclei and infinite systems. We find good agreement interms of the binding energies, radii, and internal nucleon distribution of finite nuclei, and the bindingenergy in nuclear matter and neutron star matter, as well as the formation of nuclear pastas, and thesymmetry energy of neutron star matter.
