Abstract

We present an approach to the mass formula based on the extended Thomas-Fermi method with Strutinsky shell corrections. For extrapolating from known to unknown nuclei far from the stability line it is essentially as accurate as the Hartree-Fock method for a given form of force, but is so much faster that the construction of a complete mass table is feasible. Results of preliminary fits are presented.
