Nuclear shell-model calculations with fundamental nucleon-nucleon interactions

Abstract Some fundamental nucleon-nucleon interactions and their applications to finite nuclei are reviewed. Results for few-body systems and from shell-model calculations are discussed and compared to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the different nucleon-nucleon interactions.

Drexel University Shell Model (DUSM) algorithm

Abstract This lecture is devoted to the Drexel University Shell Model (DUSM) code; this is a new shell-model code based on a separation of the various subspaces in which the single particle wavefunctions are defined. This is achieved via extensive use of permutation group concepts and a redefinition of the Coeficients of Fractional Parentage (CFP) to include permutation labels. This leads to a modern and efficient approach to nuclear shell-model.

Shell model calculations of low-lying states of 110Sb

This study describes for the first time the calculated low-lying negative and positive parity states of the antimony isotope 110Sb. The large-scale shell model calculations have been carried out in the sdgh major shell for this odd–odd isotope by using CD-Bonn and Nijmegen1 effective interactions. The results are compared to the most recent experimental data and found to be in good agreement with experiment. Our calculations show that the isomeric state 8− is a characteristic of most of the odd–odd antimony isotopes from 132Sb down to 108Sb.
