Properties of Finite Nuclei

Abstract

The properties of ${\mathrm{O}}^{16}$, ${\mathrm{Ca}}^{40}$, and ${\mathrm{Zr}}^{90}$ have been determined, using the Brueckner-Gammel-Weitzner theory of finite nuclei. Self-consistent solutions of the Hartree-Fock equations as modified by Brueckner and Goldman have been obtained. The properties computed include binding energy, mean proton and neutron radii, separation energies, spin-orbit splittings, nonlocal and state-dependent single-particle potentials, surface depth of density and potentials, potential-density relation. The predictions of the theory are in semiquantitative agreement with experiment.
