Description
Summary:An extension of the Barcelona Catania Paris Madrid (BCPM) energy density functional is proposed to deal with odd-mass systems as well as multiquasiparticle excitations. The extension is based on the assumption that the equal filling approximation (EFA) is a valid alternative to the traditional full blocking procedure of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. The assumption is supported by the excellent agreement between full blocking and EFA calculations obtained with different parametrizations of the Gogny interaction. The EFA augmented BCPM functional is used to compute low energy excitation spectra of selected nuclei in different regions of the nuclear chart, and high-K isomers in Hf178. We show that BCPM predictions are in good agreement with Gogny D1M results and experimental data
