Nuclear ground-state masses and deformations: FRDM(2012)

Abstract

We tabulate the atomic mass excesses and binding energies, ground-state shell-plus-pairing corrections, ground-state microscopic corrections, and nuclear ground-state deformations of 9318 nuclei ranging from $^{16}$O to $A=339$. The calculations are based on the finite-range droplet macroscopic model and the folded-Yukawa single-particle microscopic model. Relative to our FRDM(1992) mass table in {\sc Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables} [{\bf 59} 185 (1995)], the results are obtained in the same model, but with considerably improved treatment of deformation and fewer of the approximations that were necessary earlier, due to limitations in computer power. The more accurate execution of the model and the more extensive and more accurate experimental mass data base now available allows us to determine one additional macroscopic-model parameter, the density-symmetry coefficient $L$, which was not varied in the previous calculation, but set to zero. Because we now realize that the FRDM is inaccurate for some highly deformed shapes occurring in fission, because some effects are derived in terms of perturbations around a sphere, we only adjust its macroscopic parameters to ground-state masses. The values of ten constants are determined directly from an optimization to fit ground-state masses of 2149 nuclei ranging from $^{16}$O to $^{265}_{106}$Sg and $^{264}_{108}$Hs. The error of the mass model is 0.5595~MeV. We also provide masses in the FRLDM, which in the more accurate treatments now has an error of 0.6618 MeV. But in contrast to the FRDM, it is suitable for studies of fission and has been extensively so applied elsewhere, with FRLDM(2002) constants. The FRLDM(2012) fits 31 fission barrier heights from $^{70}$Se to $^{252}$Cf with a root-mean-square deviation of 1.052 MeV.Comment: 233 pages, 41 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:nucl-th/930802

Monte Carlo simulation of γ and fission transfer-induced probabilities using extended 𝓡-matrix theory: Application to the 237U∗ system

“…This has been accomplished thanks to Monte Carlo samplings of both first and second well resonance parameters (reaction widths and energies) of the actinide doublehumped fission barrier and to model input parameters in part obtained from macroscopic-microscopic nuclear structure calculations [10]. We enlighten that we were able to achieve confident prediction by inclusion of fission probability data induced by (d,p), (t,p), ( 3 He,t) or even ( 3 He,d) direct reactions.…”

The limits of the nuclear landscape explored by the relativistic continuum Hartree–Bogoliubov theory

“…With macroscopic-microscopic models, precise descriptions of nuclear masses have been achieved [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Based on the non-relativistic density functional theory (DFT), a series of Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass models has been developed [15][16][17][18][19].…”

Impact of the β-Delayed Neutron Emission Probabilities Around A = 100–125 on the r-Process and the BRIKEN Project

“…[4], which includes reaction rates from the compilation Reaclib v2.0 [5] and masses from the FRDM mass model [6]. As an input for the code, the parameterized trajectory follows a simple model of adiabatically expanding homogeneous mass zone described in [7], which is the main feature of the hydrodynamical trajectory for most of r-process simulation of different r-process scenarios.…”
