Phys. Rev. C 64, 027301 (2001) [3 pages]Isovector effective mass in the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock methodReceived 22 December 2000; published 25 June 2001 Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-BCS calculations show that the nuclear mass data constrain the value of the isovector effective mass Mv* in the vicinity of the Fermi surface to lie in the range of 0.90M±0.20M, M being the real nucleon mass. These rather large error bars imply uncertainties of up to 4 MeV in the mass extrapolations out to the neutron-drip line, but the corresponding uncertainties in the extrapolated neutron-separation energies Sn, beta-decay energies Qβ, and nuclear level densities are too small to be significant for the r process of nucleosynthesis. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
