Calculating the thermodynamic quantities of nucleus using the temperature dependence of level density parameter

Abstract

The nuclear level density parameter is an important quantity in nuclear physics. Nuclear level density parameter has been calculated using different methods. In this work at first, the single particle level density has been calculated by LDA method, then the nuclear level density parameter has been obtained as a function of temperature. Based on Lestone method and using Thomas-Fermi approximation, the level density parameter has been calculated to the order of next to Lestone results (corrected Lestone method). Using calculated nuclear level density parameter and taking into account the pairing energy, the nuclear level density, excitation energy, entropy and heat capacity have been calculated
