  ABSTRACT: Two types of potentials are given in the present paper. The two potentials have Gaussian radial dependences. Such shapes of radial functions are suitable for using in the unitary scheme model. The first potential is given in the form of an attractive force and the second is given in the form of a superposition of repulsive and attractive forces. The two potentials are used to calculate the binding energy of the carbon nucleus 12C. For this purpose, we expand the ground-state wave function of carbon in a series of the bases of the unitary scheme model and apply the variational method. To calculate the necessary matrix elements required to obtain the binding energy of carbon, we factorized the unitary scheme model bases in the form of products of two wave functions: the first function represents the set of the A-4 nucleons and the second function represents the set of the last four nucleons by using the well-known four-body fractional parentage coefficients. Good results are obtained for the binding energy of 12C by using the two potentials.
