Investigation of magicity in exotic nuclei using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method

In this thesis, the magicity of the exotic Si and S nuclei were investigated using the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach in coordinate space, assuming the spherical symmetry in the calculations. The Skyrme type SLy5, SkI3, SGII (without tensor) and SLy5 + T, SGII + T, T44, T66 (with tensor) energy density functionals were used in the calculations. In this context, ground state properties of the related isotopic and isotonic chains were analyzed by calculating the binding energies, two nucleon separation energies, two nucleon gap energies, pairing mean gap values and single-particle energies. The results were also compared with the avaliable experimental data. It was shown that, depending on the chosen Skyrme interaction, the tensor interaction contribution either strengthens or weakens the magicity in Si and S nuclei.
