Abstract

Recent applications of the M3Y-type semi-realistic interaction to the nuclear mean-field approaches are presented: i) Prediction of magic numbers and ii) isotope shifts of nuclei with magic proton numbers. The results exemplify that the realistic interaction, which is derived from the bare 2N and 3N interaction, furnishes a new theoretical instrument for advancing nuclear mean-field approaches.
