The validity of the simplest expansion, which contains volume, volume-symmetry, surface, and Coulomb terms, is examined by comparing it with self-consistent results of K A for some currently used nonlinear σ-ω parameter sets. A numerical estimate of higher-order contributions to the leptodermous expansion, namely, the curvature and surface-symmetry terms, is made.7 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 2002Reaccions nuclearsEstructura nuclearNuclear reactionsNuclear structureinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article508592info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
