Abstract

The ground-state characteristics nuclear density distributions and root-mean-square (rms) radii of the exotic mirror nuclei 17Ne and 17N were examined using the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock method and the symmetrized Woods-Saxon (SWS) model. Additional nuclear properties, including elastic electron-scattering form factors, binding energies, Coulomb displacement energies, and magnetic dipole moments, were also investigated. The magnetic dipole moments were calculated within the ZBM shell-model framework using several interactions (ZWM, REWIL, ZBMII, and ZBMI), with the NuShellX@ code employed to compute one-body density matrix (OBDM) elements and halo-specific form factors. The extended tail behavior observed in the nuclear densities, indicative of halo structures, was consistent with experimental observations. Furthermore, elastic form factors including the monopole (C0) component were derived from charge density distributions within the Plane-Wave Born Approximation (PWBA), offering predictive insight for forthcoming experiments involving electron–radioactive ion beam scattering.
