Phys. Rev. C 68, 054305 (2003) [8 pages]Neutron densities and the equation of state for neutron-rich matterReceived 1 July 2003; published 13 November 2003 We present predictions for energies, proton and neutron rms radii, and neutron skins of some closed-shell nuclei based upon a microscopic model of the equation of state for asymmetric nuclear matter which is used as input for a mass formula. We employ realistic two-body forces and the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach to nuclear matter. We compare with experimental information, when available, and point out the need for accurate determinations of neutron densities and skins. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
