Abstract
The Brueckner G matrix from the Reid soft-core potential is taken for the leading contribution of the effective two-proton interaction in the Sn132 region. Phenomenological two-body pairing and multipole forces are added to adjust for all neglected effect. Two model spaces are selected; a small space (0g72, 1d52) and a large space (0g72, 1d52, 0h112, 2s12, 2s12). For each space the strengths of the phenomenological terms are adjusted to fit the Te134 spectrum. It is found that both of the total interactions have a high statistical correlation with the bare G matrix. The total effective interactions are then used without further adjustment in shell model calculations to obtain good predictions for the spectra of I135, Xe136, and Cs137.
