Abstract

Applying the semi-realistic NNNN interactions that include realistic tensor force to the Hartree-Fock calculations, we investigate tensor-force effects on the single-particle levels in the Ca isotopes. The semi-realistic interaction successfully describes the experimental difference between ε(p1s1/2)\varepsilon(p1s_{1/2}) and ε(p0d3/2)\varepsilon(p0d_{3/2}) (denoted by Δε13\mathit{\Delta}\varepsilon_{13}) both at 40^{40}Ca and 48^{48}Ca, confirming importance of the tensor force. The tensor force plays a role in the NN-dependence of Δε13\mathit{\Delta}\varepsilon_{13} also in neutron-rich Ca nuclei. While the p1s1/2p1s_{1/2}-p0d3/2p0d_{3/2} inversion is predicted in heavier Ca nuclei as in 48^{48}Ca, it takes place only in N46N\geq 46, delayed by the tensor force. We further investigate possibility of proton bubble structure in Ar, which is suggested by the p1s1/2p1s_{1/2}-p0d3/2p0d_{3/2} inversion in 48^{48}Ca and more neutron-rich Ca nuclei, by the spherical Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations. Even with the inversion at 48^{48}Ca the pair correlation prohibits prominent bubble distribution in 46^{46}Ar. Bubble in Ar is unlikely also near neutron drip line because either of unboundness or of deformation. However, 34^{34}Si remains a candidate for proton bubble structure, owing to large shell gap between p1s1/2p1s_{1/2} and p0d5/2p0d_{5/2}.
