Relativistic continum Hartree-Bogoliubov theory aims at unstable nuclei

The formalism for Relativistic Continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory, which is the extension of the Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) and the Bogoliubov transformation in the coordinate representation, and its application to unstable nuclei are reviewed. As the RCHB formalism allows for the proper description of the coupling between the bound state and the continuum by the pairing force, it is suitable not only for stable nuclei but also the nuclei near the drip line. The pairing correlations are taken into account by both a density - dependent force of zero range and the finite range Gogny force.Physics, NuclearPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)中文核心期刊要目总览(PKU)0ARTICLE59-642
