Fully self-consistent study of the charge radii in the long chains of the Ar to Sc isotopes is presented. The neutron-deficient and neutron-rich nuclei with pairing in both neutron and proton sectors, as well as the (semi-) magic nuclei around the closed neutron shells at N=20, 28, 32 are treated within the Energy Density Functional (EDF) approach with the Fayans functional DF3-a [1]. A comparison with its new options is done, namely Fy(stand) and more recent Fy(∆r,HFB) [2].
The performance of the DF3-a is analysed in describing both absolute radii and OES effects found in the CERN-ISOLDE experiments for 36-52Ca [3] and 36-52K [4] isotopes (Figs.1,2). In addition to a large-scale parametric fitting of the Fayans EDF suggested in [2], a new physics related to a higher power density gradient terms in its surface and pairing parts is of importance. A self-consistent account for the A-dependent fluctuating contribution due to the quasiparticle-phonon coupling explained strong increase of the radii at N>28 in Ca isotopes [5]. It is expected to be responsible for observed local anomalies in isotopic dependence of the absolute radii [3,4].
Supported by the grant of Russian Scientific Foundation (RSF 21-12-00061).
