Abstract

Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME2016) has replenished the latest nuclear binding energy data. Other physical observables, such as the separated energies, decay energies, and the pairing gaps, were evaluated based on the new mass table. An improved Weizsäcker-Skyrme-type (WS-type) nuclear mass model with only 13 parameters was presented, including the correction from two combinatorial radial basis functions (RBFs), where shell and pairing effects are simultaneously dealt with using a Strutinsky-like method. The RBFs code had 2267 updated experimental binding energies as inputs, and their correspondent root-mean square (rms) deviations dropped to 149 keV. For the training of other mass models by RBFs correction, rms deviations are clustered between 100 keV to 200 keV. Compared with other experimental quantities, the rms deviations calculated within the improved WS-type model falls between 100 keV and 250 keV. We extrapolate the binding energies to 12435 nuclei, which covers the ranges and in the framework of the WS-type model with RBFs correction. Simultaneously, the ground state deformations and all parts in the WS-type mass formula are presented in this paper. Finally, we tabulated all calculated characteristics within the improved formula and linked them to https://github.com/lukeronger/NuclearData-LZU: nuclear binding energies, one-nucleon and two-nucleon separation energies ( ), and -decay energies ( and ), and the pairing gap and .
