Neutron density distributions for atomic parity nonconservation experiments

Abstract

The neutron distributions of Cs, Ba, Yb and Pb isotopes are described in the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. The self-consistent ground state proton and neutron density distributions are calculated with the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov model. The binding energies, the proton and neutron radii, and the quadrupole deformations are compared with available experimental data, as well as with recent theoretical studies of the nuclear structure corrections to the weak charge in atomic parity nonconservation experiments.
