Tri-axial deformation in nuclei with realistic NN interactions
  The structure of finite nuclei is investigated by employing an interaction model which is based on the low-momentum interaction $V_{lowk}$. It is supplemented by a density-dependent contact interaction fitted to reproduce the saturation properties of infinite nuclear matter within the Hartree-Fock approach. The calculations of finite nuclei are performed in a basis of plane waves discretized in a cartesian box of appropriate size. As a first example the structure of Ne isotopes is considered ranging from $^{18}$Ne to the neutron drip line. Rather good agreement is obtained for the bulk properties of these nuclei without any free parameter. The basis is also appropriate to describe other deformed nuclei and the transition from discrete nuclei to homogeneous matter which is supposed to occur in the crust of neutron stars.
