Self-consistent calculations of the exact Coulomb exchange effects in spherical nuclei - art. no. 024312

Hartree-Fock binding and single-proton energies are calculated including th e exact Coulomb exchange with the Skyrme SkP and SkM* forces for a number o f spherical nuclei up to the expected superheavy species. Results are prese nted as corrections to the standard Slater approximation. They turn out nea rly force-independent. Their magnitude and influence on selected features o f nuclear structure are discussed.
