Self-consistent K-matrix-model calculation for finite and superheavy nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)
A model two-body K matrix is introduced which leads to simple Brueckner--Hartree--Fock equations similar to those resulting from Skyrme forces. The main features of the present model are determined by basic nuclear matter properties. Experimental nucleon removal energies for finite closed-shell nuclei are used as a criterion for setting the single-particle energy levels in our model. This is accomplished by parametrizing the Brueckner rearrangement potential which augments the single-particle potential; single-particle level densities in better agreement with experiment than Skyrme-potential models or density matrix expansion theories are thereby produced. Good fits are also obtained to total binding energies, rms radii, and electron scattering form factors of the magic nuclei /sup 16/O, /sup 40/Ca, /sup 90/Zr, /sup 208/Pb. Extrapolated results for the magic superheavy nucleus /sup 298/114 are presented and discussed. (AIP)
