Abstract: (Elsevier)
A Skyrme functional is presented which is designed for calculations of nuclear masses and density distributions in a constrained time invariant Hartree-Fock + BCS model. With an effective mass equal to the nucleon mass, the experimental masses are reproduced for spherical nuclei with a rms deviation of 1 MeV. A good fit to experimental density distributions is obtained, including equal charge radii for 40 Ca and 48 Ca, and taking into account experimental data for the neutron skin thickness in 208 Pb.
