Abstract

We developed new parameterizations of local regularized finite-range pseudopotentials up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N3LO), used as generators of nuclear density functionals. When supplemented with zero-range spin–orbit and density-dependent terms, they provide a correct single-reference description of binding energies and radii of spherical and deformed nuclei. We compared the obtained results to experimental data and discussed benchmarks against the standard well-established Gogny D1S functional.

Summary

Introduction

The nuclear density functional theory (DFT) offers one of the most flexible frameworks to microscopically describe structure of atomic nuclei [1, 2]. A key element in the nuclear DFT is the energy density functional (EDF), which is usually obtained by employing effective forces as its generators. The Skyrme EDF is based on a zero-range generator, combined with a momentum expansion up to second order, whereas the Gogny EDF is based on the generator constructed with two Gaussian terms. While Skyrme-type EDFs can reproduce various nuclear bulk properties relatively well, their limits have been reached [6], and proposed extensions of zero-range generators [7, 8] did not prove efficient enough [9].
