  Background: A global description of the ground-state properties of nuclei in
a wide mass range in a unified manner is desirable not only for understanding
exotic nuclei but for providing nuclear data for applications. Purpose: We
demonstrate the KIDS functional describes the ground states appropriately with
respect to the existing data and predictions for a possible application of the
functional to all the nuclei by taking Nd isotopes as examples. Method: The
Kohn-Sham-Bogoliubov equation is solved for the Nd isotopes with the neutron
numbers ranging from 60 to 160 by employing the KIDS functionals constructed to
satisfy both neutron-matter equation of state or neutron star observation and
selected nuclear data. Results: Considering the nuclear deformation improves
the description of the binding energies and radii. We find that the discrepancy
from the experimental data is more significant for neutron-rich/deficient
isotopes and this can be made isotope independent by changing the slope
parameter of the symmetry energy. Conclusions: The KIDS functional is applied
to the mid-shell nuclei for the first time. The onset and evolution of
deformation are nicely described for the Nd isotopes. The KIDS functional is
competent to a global fitting for a better description of nuclear properties in
the nuclear chart.
