Hartree-Fock against droplet model of nuclear core densities: A revised verdict

The determination of Hartree-Fock average core densities is reviewed. It is shown that the agreement between Hartree-Fock and droplet model nuclear core densities, calculated with consistent parameters, is significantly improved when the redistribution and diffuseness corrections to the droplet model are taken into account. The remaining discrepancies are correlated with the compression modulus of nuclear matter, and imply that different values of the parameters rho infinity and Q should be obtained in Hartree-Fock and droplet model fits to experiment. The agreement between Hartree-Fock and droplet model core densities is, however, partly accidental, because larger discrepancies are found for individual droplet model contributions.
