Shapes and Dynamics from the Time-Dependent Mean Field
P. D. Stevenson, P. M. Goddard, A. Rios
Explaining observed properties in terms of underlying shape degrees of freedom is a well--established prism with which to understand atomic nuclei. Self--consistent mean--field mod…
Cause of the charge radius isotope shift at the \emph{N}=126 shell gap
P. M. Goddard, P. D. Stevenson, A. Rios
We discuss the mechanism causing the `kink' in the charge radius isotope shift at the N=126 shell closure. The occupation of the 1 neutron orbital is the decisive factor…
Why is lead so kinky?
P. M. Goddard, P. D. Stevenson, A. Rios
We revisit the problem of the kink in the charge radius shift of neutron-rich even lead isotopes. We show that the ability of a Skyrme force to reproduce the isotope shift is deter…
Do Skyrme forces that fit nuclear matter work well in finite nuclei?
P. D. Stevenson, P. M. Goddard, J. R. Stone +1
A shortlist of Skyrme force parameterizations, recently found to have passed a series of constraints relating to nuclear matter properties is analyzed for their ability to reproduc…
