Abstract: | An equation of the Thomas-Fermi type has been obtained and solved numerically for a many-particle oscillator — a system of N electrons in a potential field of a harmonic oscillator. The electron density distribution in the system has been found. An analogous model has been formulated in the theory of atomic nucleus and used to calculate the charge density distribution in40Ca in good agreement with the available experimental data.Odessa Hydrometeorological Institute.
