Structure of 14C and 14O nuclei calculated in the variational approach
Abstract
The structure of mirror 14C and 14O nuclei has been studied in the framework of the five-particle model (three α-particles and two nucleons). Interaction potentials are proposed, which allowed the energy and radius of 14C nucleus, as well as the energy of 14O one, to agree with experimental data. On the basis of the variational approach with the use of Gaussian bases, the energies and wave functions for five-particle systems under consideration are calculated. The charge radius of 14O nucleus, as well as the charge density distributions and the form factors for both nuclei, are predicted.
