Modern nuclear mass models — •Stephane Goriely — Institut d'Astronomie et d'Astrophysique, Université Libre de Bruxelles, CP226, 1050 Brussels, Belgium

The nuclear mass remains a property of fundamental importance not only for various aspects of nuclear physics, but also for some physics applications, such as nuclear astrophysics. We review the various mass models that have been developed in recent years and critically compare their predictions of experimentally known nuclear structure properties as well as their extrapolation towards the exotic neutron-rich nuclei. Special attention is devoted to recent microscopic mass models based on the mean-field Hartree-Fock-Bogolyuobov method with effective nucleon-nucleon interactions.
