Relativistic mean field calculations of single particle potentials - art. no. 024316

The parameters of form factors representing single particle central, spin-o rbit, and Coulomb potentials as well as the effective nucleon mass are extr acted from the relativistic mean field model of nuclei. The central and the spin-orbit nuclear potentials are proportional to the sum and the differen ce of the relativistic scalar- and vector-meson potentials, respectively. T he latter enter the Dirac equation of the nucleon. The form factors represe nting the potentials are parametrized in terms of Woods-Saxon functions. Th ey reproduce nearly exactly the single particle spectra of the self-consist ent relativistic mean field theory. The effective mass is parametrized in t he similar fashion. The Coulomb single particle potential parameters for pr otons are given as well. Calculations are based on the 116 spherically symm etric even-even nuclei from light (A = 16) to heavy (A = 220) ones, with kn own mass.
