Finite-range droplet model

Moller et al. (1995) calculated the atomic mass excess and nuclear ground-state deformation for 8,979 nuclei from to A = 339 between the proton and neutron drip lines (see O Fig. 2.7). The calculations with the finite-range droplet model (FRDM) contain 16 mass-like and 22 other parameters. In the framework of FRDM it is possible to calculate a large number of nuclear structure properties in addition to the ground-state masses, such as even multipole ground-state deformations (s2, 4, 65), 3-decay properties, pairing quantities, odd-particle spins, Qt-decay properties, octupole properties ( 3), etc.
