SELF-CONSISTENT FIELD THEORY OF NUCLEAR SHAPES. Technical Report No. 5

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4096420

The Hartree-Fock equations are generalized to include pairing effects on the same footing with field-producing effects. In addition to the Hartree potential, there enters a pairing potential. When applied to a spherically symmetric shell-model Hamiltonian, these equations may possess deformed solutions. Application is made to paring plus quadrupole forces, with results identical to those of Belyaev and Kisslinger and Sorensen. The spherical shape becomes unstable when some collective vibration of the spherical nucleus reaches zero frequency. (auth)
