CHARGE-DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE OXYGEN AND CALCIUM ISOTOPES

A new method of calculating the charge distributions of isotopic sequences is described and applied to the oxygen and calcium isotopes. It is based on the method of summing the squares of single-particle wave functions of the occupied orbits, together with an iteration procedure to ensure the self-consistency of the neutron and proton distributions. The interactions between the core and valence nucleons are included, and configuration mixing may be taken into account by using shell-model orbit occupation probabilities. © 1979.
