Self-Consistent Calculations of Shell Effects Including the Proposed Island of Stability Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A study is made of the characteristics of magic nuclei displayed in a Hartree-Fock calculation. It is seen that the known doubly-closed-shell nuclei are clearly distinguished by the behavior of the energy as a function of neutron and proton number. The existence of these characteristics for the superheavy nucleus with Z=120 and N=178 indicates that this may also be a magic nucleus. Single-particle-model calculations have indicated Z=114 as the magic nucleus. Possible reasons for this difference are discussed. 1970 The American Physical Society.
