Deformation properties of the BCP energy density functional

TL;DR

This paper investigates the deformation characteristics of the BCP energy density functional across various isotopes, comparing results with experimental data and other models, including fission barriers.

Contribution

It introduces and evaluates the deformation properties of the newly proposed BCP energy density functional.

Findings

BCP EDF reproduces deformation properties well for Mg, Dy, and Ra isotopes.

Results are comparable to Gogny-D1S force and experimental data.

Fission barrier of $^{240}$Pu is analyzed with BCP EDF.

Abstract

We explore the deformation properties of the newly postulated BCP energy density functional (EDF). The results obtained for three isotope chains of Mg, Dy and Ra are compared to the available experimental data as well as to the results of the Gogny-D1S force. Results for the fission barrier of $^{240}$Pu are also discussed.
