Relativistic energy density functional from momentum space to coordinate space within a coherent density fluctuation model

Abstract: In this theoretical study, we have derived a simplified analytical expression for the binding energy per nucleon as a function of density and isospin asymmetry within the relativistic mean-field model. We have generated a new parameterization for the density-dependent DD-ME2 parameter set using the Relativistic-Hartree-Bogoliubov approach. Moreover, this work attempts to revisit the prior polynomial fitting in [Phy. Rev. C 103, 024305 (2021)] for the non-linear NL3 force parameter to provide a simplified set of equations for the energy density functional which is used for calculating the surface properties of finite nuclei. The current study improves the existing fitting procedure by effectively proposing a simpler model that provides comparably precise results while lowering the computational expense. To study the surface properties of finite nuclei with these parameterizations, we have adopted the coherent density fluctuation model, which effectively translates the quantities of nuclear matter from momentum space to coordinate space at local density. The isospin properties, such as symmetry energy and its surface and volume components, slope parameter, finite nuclear incompressibility, and surface incompressibility for even-even nuclei, are calculated for different mass regions. Moreover, we have studied the effect of density, weight function, and choice of relativistic force parameters on the surface properties. The consequence of this work will help to determine the properties of nuclei along the nuclear landscape and can facilitate an improved understanding of the island of stability, heavy-ion collision, and nucleosynthesis, among others.
