Abstract
Using the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mean field theory in coordinate space, we investigate ground state properties of the sulfur isotopes from the line of stability up to the two-neutron dripline . In particular, we calculate two-neutron separation energies, quadrupole moments, and rms radii for protons and neutrons. Evidence for shape coexistence is found in the very neutron-rich sulfur isotopes. We compare our calculations with results from relativistic mean field theory and with available experimental data. We also study the properties of neutron-rich zirconium , cerium , and samarium isotopes which exhibit very large prolate quadrupole deformations.
