“…The parameters V 0 and R 0 are applicable to the WS attractive real part while V A and R A , to the Gaussian attractive real one. V 0 , V A , V R and W 00 are in MeV; R 0 , R A , R R and a 0 , in fm; and J R /16 and J I /16, in MeV fm 3 parameter V R followed by an adjustment of other parameters including the depth of the attractive part, either V A in (9) or V 0 in (10). This is because the EDF potential parameters have been generated using the width parameter γ = 0.5, which does not adequately reproduce the correct central density of about ρ 0 = 0.32 fm −3 of α-particles, and thus, may not have generated enough strength for the repulsive core.…”
