Description
Gravitational form factors of atomic nuclei ranging from 16O to 208Pb are calculated by the use of the realistic relativistic mean field (RMF) picture of nuclei. The D term, which corresponds to the radial distribution of the shear force density (traceless part of the stress tensor), is of particular interest. It shows a strong mass number dependence and also shell structure of nuclei.
