Abstract
Shell-model calculations are performed on the normal parity states of -shell nuclei with . The Hamiltonian is diagonalized in the full basis, and the effective two-body interaction is computed from the Sussex relative harmonic-oscillator matrix elements. The second-order corrections to the two-body matrix elements are calculated for all intermediate states up to excitation energy. The harmonic-oscillator size parameter is taken to be constant at 1.7 fm for all nuclei, and the single-particle energy splitting is determined for each mass number by a least-squares rms fitting to the experimental spectrum. Static and dynamic properties of the energy levels are calculated and found to be usually in good agreement with experiment.
