    Structure properties of even-even actinides

    Full text link
    Structure properties of fifty five even-even actinides have been calculated using the Gogny D1S force and the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach as well as the configuration mixing method. Theoretical results are compared with experimental data.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, proceeding of FUSION0

    Global Properties of Spherical Nuclei Obtained from Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov Calculations with the Gogny Force

    Full text link
    Selfconsistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) calculations have been performed with the Gogny force for nuclei along several constant Z and constant N chains, with the purpose of extracting the macroscopic part of the binding energy using the Strutinsky prescription. The macroscopic energy obtained in this way is compared to current liquid drop formulas. The evolution of the single particle levels derived from the HFB calculations along the constant Z and constant N chains and the variations of the different kinds of nuclear radii are also analysed. Those radii are shown to follow isospin-dependent three parameter laws close to the phenomenological formulas which reproduce experimental data.Comment: 17 pages in LaTeX and 17 figures in eps. Phys.

    Effect of differences in proton and neutron density distributions on fission barriers

    Full text link
    The neutron and proton density distributions obtained in constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations with the Gogny force along the fission paths of 232Th, 236U, 238U and 240Pu are analyzed. Significant differences in the multipole deformations of neutron and proton densities are found. The effect on potential energy surfaces and on barrier heights of an additional constraint imposing similar spatial distributions to neutrons and protons, as assumed in macroscopic-microscopic models, is studied.Comment: 5 pages in Latex, 4 figures in ep

    The Neutron Halo in Heavy Nuclei Calculated with the Gogny Force

    Full text link
    The proton and neutron density distributions, one- and two-neutron separation energies and radii of nuclei for which neutron halos are experimentally observed, are calculated using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method with the effective interaction of Gogny. Halo factors are evaluated assuming hydrogen-like antiproton wave functions. The factors agree well with experimental data. They are close to those obtained with Skyrme forces and with the relativistic mean field approach.Comment: 13 pages in Latex and 17 figures in ep

    Structure of even-even nuclei using a mapped collective Hamiltonian and the D1S Gogny interaction

    Full text link
    A systematic study of low energy nuclear structure at normal deformation is carried out using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory extended by the Generator Coordinate Method and mapped onto a 5-dimensional collective quadrupole Hamiltonian. Results obtained with the Gogny D1S interaction are presented from dripline to dripline for even-even nuclei with proton numbers Z=10 to Z=110 and neutron numbers N less than 200. The properties calculated for the ground states are their charge radii, 2-particle separation energies, correlation energies, and the intrinsic quadrupole shape parameters. For the excited spectroscopy, the observables calculated are the excitation energies and quadrupole as well as monopole transition matrix elements. We examine in this work the yrast levels up to J=6, the lowest excited 0^+ states, and the two next yrare 2^+ states. The theory is applicable to more than 90% of the nuclei which have tabulated measurements. The data set of the calculated properties of 1712 even-even nuclei, including spectroscopic properties for 1693 of them, are provided in CEA website and EPAPS repository with this article \cite{epaps}.Comment: 51 pages with 26 Figures and 4 internal tables; this version is accepted by Physical Review
