Contents

• Master's thesis, file: MSc_thesis_Mavroudis.pdf

• The folder thesis_code contains:

1. the main code (outer_crust.py)

Requirements

To run this code, you’ll need the following Python3 libraries installed:

numpy

pandas

scipy

matplotlib.pyplot

fortranformat

time

2. and the auxiliary code (plots_all_models_together.py)

Requirements

To run this code, you’ll need the following Python3 libraries installed:

numpy

matplotlib.pyplot

os

• The folders SEMF, FRDM2012, WS4RBF, BSKG3, HFB31, DDMED, DDPC1, SVMIN and UNEDF0 correspond to the respective used nuclear model. They contain:

1. the main code (outer_crust.py)

2. the file AME2020_table.dat, which contains the atomic mass excesses from AME2020

3. the file <MODEL>_table.dat (apart from the folder SEMF), which contains the theoretically predicted atomic mass excesses or nuclear binding energies

4. the generated - saved pictures (.png files) from the execution of the main code (outer_crust.py)

5. the saved arrays (.npy files) from the execution of the main code (outer_crust.py)

6. and the generated - saved tabular data (.dat files) from the execution of the main code (outer_crust.py)

• The folder ALL_PLOTS contains:

1. the auxiliary code (plots_all_models_together.py)

2. the saved arrays (.npy files) from the folders SEMF, FRDM2012, WS4RBF, BSKG3, HFB31, DDMED, DDPC1, SVMIN and UNEDF0

3. and the generated - saved pictures (.png files) from the execution of the auxiliary code (plots_all_models_together.py)

• The folder tabulated generated data contains the generated - saved tabular data from the folders SEMF, FRDM2012, WS4RBF, BSKG3, HFB31, DDMED, DDPC1, SVMIN and UNEDF0, more organized as .ods files
