The charge and matter distributions of208Pb

Abstract
The best available data on the charge and matter distributions of 208Pb are analysed using (a) a Woods-Saxon potential, (b) a Hartree-Fock potential based on Skyrme interactions and (c) a combination of the two, Woods-Saxon for the surface region and Skyrme-Hartree-Fock for the interior. The single-particle energies and tail densities (or RMS radii) of the valence orbitals are also analysed. The agreement between experiment and theory is best for the combined potential.
