Study of ground-state properties of even-even Polonium isotopes

The complementing efforts of experimental and theoretical studies have led to understanding the properties of the nuclei far from the stability region. The self-consistent Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) models have been successfully applied in analyses of nuclear structure properties over the whole periodic table, from light nuclei to super heavy elements [1]. The Covariant Density Functional Theory (CDFT) is such a model capable of explaining the properties of the nuclei over the entire nuclear chart. The CDFT is not only successful in reproducing bulk properties of nuclear ground-states such as binding energies, radii or deformation parameter but it also allows the investigation of collective phenomena such as giant resonances and rotational excitations [1].
