Abstract
The calcium isotopes through are described within the framework of the conventional shell model using a phenomenological effective two-body interaction. The residual interaction consists of usual pairing plus a surface-tensor force. is assumed to be an inert core. Besides all possible configurations arising from and orbits, configurations of the form where (the number of extracore neutrons) and , are also considered in the basis vector spaces. The calculated ground-state energies as well as the excited energy levels are in good agreement with the experimental values. Reproduction of single-neutron spectroscopic factors for stripping and pickup reactions is also good.
