"The macroscopic-microscopic folded-Yukawa approach to providing global nuclear structure data." P. Moller
The macroscopic-microscopic folded-Yukawa
approach to providing global nuclear structure data.
The macroscopic-microscopic model based on the folded-Yukawa single-particle potential
and a “finite-range” macroscopic model may be the approach that has provided the
most reliable predictions of a large number of nuclear-structure properties for all nuclei
between the proton and neutron drip lines. I will describe the development philosophy
that behind the reason for its usefulness. Examples of quantities modeled within
the same model framework are, nuclear masses, ground-state level structure, including
spins, ground-state shapes, fission barriers, heavy-ion fusion barriers, sub-barrier fusion
cross sections, -decay half-lives and delayed neutron emission probabilities, shape coexistence,
and -decay Q energies to name a few. I will review some milestones during
its development and the current status, with some specific example of results for fission fragment
yield distributions, superheavy element properties and beta decay.
