Abstract

Recent observation of the 6+^+ seniority isomers and measurements of the B(E2){(E2)} values in the 134138^{134-138}Sn isotopes lying close to the neutron drip line have raised some questions about the validity of the currently used effective interactions in the neutron-rich region. Simpson et\it{et} al.\it{al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113\textbf{113}, 132502 (2014)] had to modify the diagonal and non-diagonal νf7/22{\nu}f_{7/2}^2 two body matrix elements of the "Vlk{Vlk}" interaction by 150{\sim150} keV in their shell model calculations in order to explain the data of 136^{136}Sn. In contrast, we are able to explain the observed energy levels and the B(E2){(E2)} values after marginal reduction of the same set of matrix elements by 25{25} keV in the "RCDB" (Renormalized CD-Bonn) interaction. The observed mismatch in reproducing the data of 136^{136}Sn is due to the seniority mixing. Further, we do not find it necessary to consider the core excitations, and the "RCDB" interaction seems better suited to explain the data beyond N=82=82 magic number.
