NUMERICAL APPROACH OF THE MICROSCOPIC-MACROSCOPIC METHOD
A numerical method close to the Strutinsky procedure (but better) is proposed to calculate the deformation energy of nuclei. Quadrupole (triaxial) deformations are considered. Theoretical as well as practical aspects of the method are reviewed in this paper. A complete FORTRAN program illustrates the feasibility of the method. The numerical method employed in this paper avoids the main drawback of the Strutinsky method, that is to say the well known dependency of the results on the inherent two free parameters.
