WIGNER-KIRKWOOD METHOD FOR MICROSCOPIC-MACROSCOPIC CALCULATION OF BINDING ENERGIES

• We propose to use the semi-classical Wigner-Kirkwood (h) over bar expansion to calculate shell corrections for spherical and deformed nuclei. The expansion is carried out up to fourth order in (h) over bar. A systematic study of Wigner-Kirkwood averaged energies is presented as a function of the deformation degrees of freedom. The shell corrections, along with the pairing energies obtained by using the Lipkin-Nogami scheme are used in the microscopic-macroscopic approach to calculate binding energies. The macroscopic part is obtained from a liquid drop formula with six adjustable parameters. Considering a set of 367 spherical nuclei, the liquid drop parameters are adjusted to reproduce the experimental binding energies, which yields a rms deviation of 630 keV.
