| Résumé : | The latest developments made in deriving accurate mass predictions within the microscopic Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) approach are described. Using the HFB method, we have refitted our BSk20 and BSk21 models, on which were based the HFB-20 and HFB-21 mass tables, to the 2353 measured masses of nuclei with N and Z ≥ 8 given in the newly available 2012 Atomic Mass Evaluation. In addition, we have now investigated the sensitivity to the symmetry coefficient J and the stiffness of the neutron matter equation of state. We present here in all 5 new Skyrme interactions, along with their corresponding mass tables. The root-mean square deviation obtained with our preferred model (HFB-24) with respect to essentially all the 2353 available mass data falls to 0.549 MeV, the best value ever found within the mean-field framework. Since our Skyrme force is also constrained by the properties of pure neutron matter this new model is particularly well-suited for application to astrophysical problems involving a neutron-rich environment, such as the elucidation of the r-process of nucleosynthesis, and the description of supernova cores and neutron-star crusts. |
