Extension of Effective Lagrangian Approach to Structure of Selected Nuclei Far from Stability

In a previous paper, the convergence of a new effective field theory and density functional theory (EFT/DFT) approach to the description of the nuclear many-body system was studied. The most sophisticated parameter set (here G1) determined by Furnstahl, Serot and Tang from a fit along the valley of stability was found to provide quantitative predictions for total binding energies and single-particle and single-hole binding energies, spins, and parities for selected doubly-magic nuclei far from stability. Binding energies of all the even Sn isotopes (Z = 50) were also well described. Here the calculations are extended to all isotones with magic numbers N = 28, 50, 82, 126, and isotopes with Z = 28, 50, 82 with similar predictive results. (author)
