New Kohn-Sham density functional based on microscopic nuclear and neutron matter equations of state
New Kohn-Sham density functional based on microscopic nuclear and neutron matter equations of state
A new version of the Barcelona-Catania-Paris energy functional is applied to a study of nuclear masses and other properties. The functional is largely based on calculated ab initio nuclear and neutron matter equations of state. Compared to typical Skyrme functionals having 10--12 parameters apart from spin-orbit and pairing terms, the …
