New calculation for some ground state features of ⁴⁰Ca, ⁴⁸Ca, ³²S and ³⁹K nuclei

Some ground states features of ³²S, ³⁹K, ⁴⁰Ca and ⁴⁸Ca nuclei are investigated using the Hartree–Fock method with the Skyrme SKM* and SLy4 forces calculated in two different code implementations. The calculated total binding energies per particle and root mean square (rms) nuclear charge radii using the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock (SHF) + BCS method are compared with relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory and experimental values. The obtained charge density distributions from these code implementations are compared with the experimental data. Pairing effects are also included in calculations for the same nuclei. Variations of the total binding energies per particle and rms nuclear charge radii were investigated as the last shell nucleons were carried to the upper shell. (author)
