Abstract
Within the nuclear density functional theory (DFT) we study the effect of reflection-
asymmetric shapes on ground-state binding energies and binding energy differences. To this
end, we developed the new DFT solver axialhfb that uses an approximate second-order
gradient to solve the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations of superconducting DFT with the
quasi-local Skyrme energy density functionals. Illustrative calculations are carried out for even-
even isotopes of radium and thorium.
