Relativistic Thomas-Fermi description of collective modes in droplets of nuclear matter

Isoscalar collective modes in a relativistic meson-nucleon system are investigated in the framework of the time-dependent Thomas-Fermi method. The energies of the collective modes are determined by solving consistently the dispersion relations and the boundary conditions. The energy weighted sum rule satisfied by the models considered allows the identification of the giant resonances. The percentage of the energy weighted sum rule exhausted by the collective modes is in agreement with experimental data, but the agreement with the energy of the modes depends on the model considered.

Quasilocal density functional theory and its application within the extended Thomas-Fermi approximation

In this paper we propose a generalization of the density functional theory. The theory leads to single-particle equations of motion with a quasilocal mean-field operator, which contains a quasiparticle position-dependent effective mass and a spin-orbit potential. The energy density functional is constructed using the extended Thomas-Fermi approximation and the ground-state properties of doubly magic nuclei are considered within the framework of this approach. Calculations were performed using the finite-range Gogny D1S forces and the results are compared with the exact Hartree-Fock calculations

Qu?? feo est?? el cole

Se presenta experiencia educativa que propone organizar el centro como plataforma de exposiciones abiertas a toda la comunidad. Se realiza en el CEIP Ntra. Sra. de los Dolores en Alomartes, Granada. Los objetivos son: realizar una exposici??n mensual que coincida con las efem??rides m??s importantes y con los temas transversales presentes en el curr??culo; entender cada espacio del colegio como un lugar educativo.

El peri??dico en el cole

Se presenta experiencia educativa que propone el acercamiento a la prensa escolar como medio para difundir informaci??n a la comunidad educativa. Se realiza en el CPR Ruiz Carvajal en Moraleda de Zafayona, Granada. Los objetivos son: favorecer y ayudar en la tarea de educar y formar al alumnado; establecer un v??nculo de uni??n entre el centro y las familias; conocer, valorar y respetar las distintas aportaciones de los maestros y maestras y elaborar nuestros propios criterios de actuaci??n; tener la posibilidad de dar a conocer la cotidianidad y los hechos m??s destacables de la instituci??n a la comunidad y al mundo, adem??s de la interacci??n de experiencias con otras instituciones.

Piscinas en el cole? ¡Vale mojarse!
