| Résumé : | We calculate correlation energies associated with the quadrupole shape degrees of freedom with a view to improving the self-consistent mean-field theory of nuclear binding energies. Systematic results are presented for 605 even-even nuclei from mass number 16 to the heaviest whose mass has been measured, using the Skyrme SLy4 interaction and the generator coordinate method. Correlation energies range from 0.5 to 6.0 MeV, and their inclusion improves two qualitative deficiencies of the mean-field theory, namely, the exaggerated shell effect at neutron magic numbers and the failure of mean-field theory to describe mutually enhanced magicity. For the mass table as a whole, the quadrupolar correlations improve binding energies, separation energies, and separation energy differences by 20%30%. © 2005 The American Physical Society. |
