Shell-Model Calculations forNa22andNe22

Abstract
Shell-model calculations have been performed for the nuclei Na22 and Ne22. The model space is made up of all Pauli-allowed combinations of six particles in the orbits 0d52, 1s12, and 0d32. An inert O16 core is assumed. The two-body interaction which is employed has been obtained by empirically modifying some of the matrix elements of Kuo's interaction in order to achieve an rms best fit between the observed energies of 72 levels in the A=1822 region and the corresponding shell-model eigenvalues. Single-particle energies are taken from the O17 spectrum. Calculated results for excitation energies, electromagnetic transition strengths, and spectroscopic factors for single-nucleon transfer are presented and compared with existing data.
