Description

Some properties of the modified Bethe-Weizsaecker mass formula (BWM) are discussed. As BWM has no shell effect included, the extra stability or, magicity in nuclei clearly stands out when experimental mass data are compared with BWM predictions. If the shell effect quenches, the BWM predictions come closer to the experimental data
