Abstract
Nuclear level density (NLD) evaluated under the framework of the microscopic statistical method is examined. We calculate single-particle levels by the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF) + Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) method, and the grand partition function is calculated with the same two-body interaction as used in the SHF+BCS method. The results are compared with preceding theoretical calculations using different residual interactions. Cumulative numbers and s-wave neutron resonance spacings are reproduced fairly well. The effect of a renormalization term neglected in conventional microscopic statistical methods is also investigated. In order to test a practical application, we calculate neutron capture cross section and compare it with experimental results.
