Abstract

We present a careful analysis of desaturation effects in densities and energies of nuclei using realistic Skyrme interactions in the extended Thomas-Fermi approach. Variational calculations confirm the slab model prescription introduced earlier for the extraction of desaturation terms for spherical systems. Desaturation is found to be appreciable in densities for A ≲ 40 and in energies for A ≲ 4.
