Title: Finite nucleus Dirac mean field theory and random phase approximation using finite /ital B/ splines

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

We calculate the finite nucleus Dirac mean field spectrum in a Galerkinapproach using finite basis splines. We review the method and present resultsfor the relativistic sigma-..omega.. model for the closed-shell nuclei/sup 16/O and /sup 40/Ca. We study the convergence of themethod as a function of the size of the basis and the closure properties of thespectrum using an energy-weighted dipole sum rule. We apply the method to theDirac random-phase-approximation response and present results for the isoscalar1/sup /minus// and 3/sup /minus// longitudinal form factors of/sup 16/O and /sup 40/Ca. We also use a /ital B/-splinespectral representation of the positive-energy projector to evaluate partialenergy-weighted sum rules and compare with nonrelativistic sum rule results.
