2 latest comment of the MB31 referees...a lot of experience. The project is interesting perhaps a little too broad. Each group makes its own contribution. It would be nice to have more relation between the different groups...

3 Outline of the talk Previous works: my skills, what I can do and topics on which we can start a collaboration (see latest work with Lecce, Pavia and Orsay) Future works: what I plan to do (a chance for future collaborations?)

Niksic (University of Zagreb); Many thanks to N. Kaiser, W. Weise and J. Holt (Technical University of Munich) for numerical results.

15 INTRODUCTION Keep things as simple as possible: find a fast and computationally efficient way to include a realistic pairing in HFB calculations (of course, using explicit formulas is not an option). realistic? -body plus 3-body (with some approximations) Solve the gap equation for symmetric nuclear matter. Use a parametrized pairing force that, on one hand, reproduces the realistic pairing gap in symmetric nuclear matter and, on the other hand, is easy to use for finite systems. Try to include all the physical informations. Not only the pairing gap at some Fermi momentum, but all k F -dependence: fix parameters in order to reproduce Δ(k F ). Test the realistic potential in finite nuclei: pairing gaps in isotopic and isotonic chains.

For the energies we could use the bare mass (M N ) but it would be better to use an effective mass (M*) [Fritsch, Kaiser and Weise, NPA 750 (005) 59 or Holt, Kaiser and Weise, nucl-th/ ].

26 separable pairing by Y. tian In nuclear matter the pairing interaction has a separable form in momentum space k V 1 S 0 k = Gp(k)p(k ) Gaussian ansatz p(k) =e a k The two parameters G and a can be adjusted to reproduce the density dependence of the gap at the Fermi surface. The ansatz can be tested over well known calculations (like Gogny). Energies (pairing and binding) and gaps are reproduced with very high accuracy. [Y. Tian et al., PLB 676 (009) 44; Veselý, Dobaczewski, Michel and Toivanen, JoP Conf. Ser., 67 (011) 0107]

34 Motivation We study the predictions of three mean-field theoretical approaches in the description of the ground state properties of some spherical nuclei far from the stability line. We compare binding energies, single particle spectra, density distributions, charge and neutron radii obtained with different approaches. The agreement between the results obtained with the three different approaches indicates that these results are more related to the basic hypotheses of the mean-field approach rather than to its implementation in actual calculations.

43 conclusions (i) 1. The properties of infinite nuclear matter at saturation densities are very similar for the three approaches. The only exception is L. Above the saturation point, the behaviors of the EOS are remarkably different, especially in the case of PNM.. In our calculations all the 16 nuclei investigated are bound. This MF prediction could be in contrast with the experimental evidence (the neutron drip line for the oxygen isotopes starts with the 6 O nucleus, therefore 8 O is experimentally an unstable system) 3. The proton s.p. energies around the Fermi surface have similar values for all the three calculations. 4. In each isotopes chain, the energy available to arrange the proton s.p. levels decreases with increasing neutron number. As a consequence the density of states increases. 5. The study of the density distributions indicates a good agreement at the nuclear sur- face for all the three types of calculations. In the nuclear interior we have observed very different behaviors when the proton and neutron densities are separately considered. These differences in the nuclear center are much smaller when the total matter is considered.

44 conclusions (ii) 6. The large differences of the proton distributions in the nuclear interior are due to the s proton waves. 7. The values of the charge rms radii are very similar in all the three calculations and agree very well with the available experimental data and with their empirical extrapolations. Our results show a small increase of these radii with the neutron numbers. 8. Neutron skins are larger in light than in heavy nuclei. This is not a trivial geometrical effect. The most important message emerging from our investigation is the convergence of the results of the 3 MF models for all the nuclei investigated. This indicates the importance of producing and investigating exotic nuclei. The comparison between the observed properties and the MF predictions is going to confirm, or not, the MF model itself, and not a specific implementation of it.
