Ground-state properties of even-even nuclei in the relativistic mean-field theory

The ground-state properties of 1315 even-even nuclei with 10 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 98 have been calculated in the framework of the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory. The Lagrangian parametrization NL3 was used in the calculations. Pairing correlations are accounted within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approach. The calculated values for the total binding energy, rms proton radius, rms neutron radius, rms charge radius, neutron quadrupole moment, proton quadrupole moment, charge (proton) hexadecapole moment, quadrupole deformation parameter, and hexadecapole deformation parameter are given in Table I. The RMF predictions of some rare-earth nuclei have been compared with the available experimental information, (C) 1999 Academic Press.
