Nuclear charge densities with the Skyrme Hartree-Fock method

Abstract

Charge-density distributions and the associated nuclear radii are calculated with the Hartree-Fock method for comparison with available data from electron scattering. Two forms of Skyrme interactions are used for the calculations. As a further refinement the single-particle occupancies are constrained to values obtained from shell-model calculations. A significant improvement in the agreement is obtained if shell-model occupancies are used.
