Jm. Pearson et al., NUCLEAR-MASS FORMULA WITH BOGOLYUBOV-ENHANCED SHELL-QUENCHING - APPLICATION TO R-PROCESS, Physics letters. Section B, 387(3), 1996, pp. 455-459
The ETFSI mass table, which is based entirely on microscopic forces, h
as been modified to take account of the strong quenching of shell effe
cts found in HFB calculations on highly neutron-rich nuclei. The gener
al effect of this modification is to reduce nuclear deformations; we d
iscuss the implications for the r-process nuclidic abundances, as calc
ulated in the canonical model.
