Microscopic mass estimations
Jorge G.Hirsch · Joel Mendoza-Temis
Abstract
The quest to build a mass formula which have in it the most relevant microscopic contributions is analyzed. Inspired in the successful Duflo-Zuker mass description, the challenges to describe the shell closures in a more transparent but equally powerful formalism are discussed.
