Single particle calculations for a Woods–Saxon potential with triaxial deformations, and large Cartesian oscillator basis (new version code) Original Research Article

We present a new version of the computer program which solves the Schrödinger equation of the stationary states for an average nuclear potential of Woods–Saxon type. In this work, we take specifically into account triaxial (i.e. ellipsoidal) nuclear surfaces. The deformation is specified by the usual Bohr parameters. The calculations are carried out in two stages. In the first, one calculates the representative matrix of the Hamiltonian in the Cartesian oscillator basis. In the second stage one diagonalizes this matrix with the help of subroutines of the EISPACK library. This new version calculates all the eigenvalues up to a given cutoff energy, and gives the components of the corresponding eigenfunctions. For a more convenient handling, these results are stored simultaneously in the computer memory, and on a files.
