Can realistic interaction be useful for nuclear mean-field approaches?
Recent applications of the M3Y-type semi-realistic interaction to the nuclear mean-field approaches are presented: (i) Prediction of magic numbers and (ii) isotope shifts of nuclei with magic proton numbers. The results exemplify that realistic interaction, which is derived from the base $2N$ and $3N$ interaction, furnish a new theoretical instrument for advancing nuclear mean-field approaches.
