Hartree-Fock calculation <strong>of</strong> ground <strong>state</strong> crust<br />

Put A = N + Z nucleons and Z electrons in a box <strong>of</strong> volume Vcell (=unit<br />

cell) and calculate ground <strong>state</strong> <strong>of</strong> the system at fixed nb = A/Vcell. The<br />

A − body problem - solved using nuclear many-body theory. A ∼ 50 − 1000.<br />
