Abstract.

We review the latest efforts devoted to the global prediction of atomic masses. Special attention is paid to the new developments made within the Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov framework. So far, 9 HFB mass tables based on different parametrizations of the effective interactions in the Hartree-Fock and pairing channels have been published. We analyze their ability to reproduce experimental masses as well as nuclear-matter and giant-resonance properties. The possibility to derive within the HFB framework a universal effective interaction that can describe all known properties of the nuclei (including their masses) and of asymmetric nuclear matter is critically discussed.
