In this paper, we present some results of shell-model calculations employing effective interactions derived from the CD-Bonn free nucleon-nucleon potential. These concern 18O, 134Te, and 210Po, and are part of a comprehensive study of…
The complex scaling method is commonly used to describe decaying states, but its applications are limited because the Hamiltonian operator must contain only relative coordinates. This has hindered the use of complex scaling in models…

A simple approximation to shell model is proposed in which the low energy excitation spectra corresponds to the identical nucleons occupying the same single particle states where they preferred to form pairs for the ground states. We call…
Low-lying states in nuclei are investigated using an ensemble of random interactions. Both in the nuclear shell model and in the interacting boson model we find a dominance of $J^P=0^+$ ground states. It is shown that this feature is not…
Most nuclear structure calculations, even for full configuration interaction approaches, are performed within truncated model spaces. These require consistent transformations of the Hamiltonian and operators to account for the missing…
One-neutron halo nuclei, composed by a weakly-bound particle coupled to a core nucleus, are studied within a particle-plus-core model. A semi-microscopic method to generate the two-body Hamiltonian of such a system, including core…

Pseudo-SU(3) shell-model results are reported for M1 excitation strengths in 157-Gd, 163-Dy and 169-Tm in the energy range between 2 and 4 MeV. Non-zero pseudo-spin couplings between the configurations play a very important role in…
