Studies on the Moments of Inertia of Light Nuclei. Part I. Calculations in the sd Shell Using Skyrme-type Formulas

Abstract

The Hartree–Fock–Skyrme approach to calculations of the nuclear moment of inertia is generalized. It is shown that a different formula than the usual Skyrme formula can be expected to give better results. This result is illustrated by calculations on even–even nuclei in the sd shell.
