model parameters: meson masses m, m, m, meson-nucleon coupling constants g, g, g, nonlinear self-interactions coupling constants g2, g3, ...
The parameters are determined from properties of nuclear matter (symmetric and asymmetric) and bulk properties of finite nuclei (binding energies, charge radii, neutron radii, surface thickeness ...)

In heavier nuclei low-lying dipole states appear that are characterized by a more distributed structure of the RQRPA amplitude.Among several single-particle transitions, a single collective dipole state is
found below 10 MeV and its amplitude represents a coherent superposition of many neutron particle-hole configurations.
