RBF corrections for different mass models

N. Wang and M. Liu, J. Phys: Conf. Seri. 420 (2013) 012057

Based on the Skyrme EDF and macro-micro method, we proposed a global nuclear mass formula with which the measured masses in AME2003 and AME2012 can be well reproduced.

Isospin-dependence of the strength of spin-orbit potential and of the symmetry potential significantly influence the shell corrections of super-heavy nuclei and drip line nuclei.

Shell corrections and alpha-decay energies of super-heavy nuclei are investigated with the formula and the shell gap at N=178 also influences the central position of the island of SHE.

Radial basis function (RBF) approach is an efficient and powerful systematic method for improving the accuracy and predictive power of global nuclear mass models.
