Ground-state properties of even-even nuclei in the relativistic mean-fieldtheory

The ground-state properties of 1315 even-even nuclei with 10 less than or e qual to Z less than or equal to 98 have been calculated in the framework of the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory. The Lagrangian parametrization N L3 was used in the calculations. Pairing correlations are accounted within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approach. The calculated values for the total binding energy, rms proton radius, rms neutron radius, rms charge radius, neutron quadrupole moment, proton quadrupole moment, charge (proton) hexade capole moment, quadrupole deformation parameter, and hexadecapole deformati on parameter are given in Table I. The RMF predictions of some rare-earth n uclei have been compared with the available experimental information, (C) 1 999 Academic Press.
