A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI UP TO THE DRIP LINES WITHIN THE RELATIVISTIC MEAN-FIELD FRAMEWORK

We apply the relativistic mean field theory to study the ground state properties of about 2000 even-even nuclei from Z=8 to Z=120 up to the proton and neutron drip lines. The calculations have been done under t he axial symmetry assumption and a quadratic constraint method in orde r to obtain all possible ground state configurations. We do not take i nto account the pairing correlation in the present study. The calculat ions are performed with the TMA parameter set. We explore the general trend of masses, radii and deformations in the whole region of the nuc lear chart. Using the masses obtained from RMF theory, we calculate th e r-process abundances and the r-process path.
