Exotic Nuclei in Relativistic and Non-Relativistic Models Exotic Nuclei large isospin asymmetry - nuclei close to the drip lines - superheavy nuclei non-relativistic models: Skyrme-Hartree-Fock (SHF), Gogny-HF - relativistic models : Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) Chiral effective field theory and low-energy QCD Relativistic Hartree-Fock Dirac- Brueckner- HF Mean field type models Quark Meson Coupling Model
Spin-orbit Mean field different density dependence Relativistic Mean FieldSkyrme - HF different isospin dependence density & contribution of Fock terms ?! ( H. Flocard & P.G.Reinhard ) (P.G.Reinhard ’89)
Effective mass Dirac mass : Lorentz mass : different value different isospin dependence N>Z Relativistic Mean FieldSkyrme - HF contribution of Fock term ?!
Basic quantities : binding energies, radii RMF versus SHF in finite nuclei shell structure:- spin-orbit splitting - level density (m*) Extrapolation far from stability ?
