Other Properties Depending on the Nuclear Charge Distribution

OTHER PROPERTIES DEPENDING ON THE NUCLEAR CHARGE DISTRIBUTION 

In this last section we mention a few cases, where properties other than the energy of a system are considered, which are influenced in particular by the change from the point-like nucleus case (PNC) to the finite nucleus case (FNC) for the nuclear model. Firstly, we consider the electron-nuclear contact term (Darwin term), and turn then to higher quantum electrodynamic effects. In both cases the nuclear charge density distribution p r) is involved. The next item, parity non-conservation due to neutral weak interaction between electrons and nuclei, involves the nuclear proton and neutron density distributions, i.e., the particle density ditributions n r) and n (r). Finally, higher nuclear electric multipole moments, which involve the charge density distribution p r) again, are mentioned briefly.
