NEUTRON RADII AND SKINS IN THE HARTREE-FOCK-BOGOLIUBOV CALCULATIONS

We examine the systematic predictions for proton and neutron radii in even-even nuclei made by the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogol iubov theory. Such an approach allows us to describe nuclei far from s tability, where the spatial extensions of a nuclear system crucially d epend on the continuum effects. We concentrate on the influence of sph erical shell structure on global behavior of radii. The (N, Z)-localiz ation of neutron and proton skins is discussed.
