Abstract
Proton and neutron separation energies are calculated using the extended Bethe–Weizsäcker mass formula. This modified Bethe–Weizsäcker mass formula describes minutely the positions of all the old and the new magic numbers. It accounts for the disappearance of some traditional magic numbers for neutrons and provides extra stability for some new neutron numbers. The neutron and proton drip lines are predicted using this extended Bethe–Weizsäcker mass formula. The implications of the proton drip line on the astrophysical rp-process and of the neutron drip line on the astrophysical r-process are discussed.
