A shell model study of the low energy region of the spectra in Ge isotopes for $38\leq N\leq 50$ is presented, analyzing the excitation energies, quadrupole moments, $B(E2)$ values and occupation numbers. The theoretical results have been…
Shell model calculations are performed for magnetic dipole excitations in $^8{Be}$ and $^{10}{Be}$ in which all valence configurations plus $2\hbar\omega$ excitations are allowed (large space). We study both the orbital and spin…
The Projected Shell Model is a shell model theory built up over a deformed BCS mean field. Ground state and excited bands in even-even nuclei are obtained through diagonalization of a pairing plus quadrupole Hamiltonian in an angular…
Large-scale shell-model calculations are carried out in the model space including neutron-hole orbitals $2p_{1/2}$, $1f_{5/2}$, $2p_{3/2}$, $0i_{13/2}$, $1f_{7/2}$ and $0h_{9/2}$ to study the structure and electromagnetic properties of…
Our main concern in this work is to show how higher shell admixtures affect the spectrum of a Q.Q interaction. We first review how, in the valence space, the familiar SU(3) result for the energy spectrum can be obtained using a coordinate…
We obtain wave functions for 2 protons and 2 neutrons in the g_{9/2} shell expressed as column vectors with amplitudes D(J_{p},J_{n}). When we use a quadrupole-quadrupole interaction (Q.Q) we get, in many cases, a very strong overlap with…
We point out a simplicity that arises when we use an interaction in which only an energy with odd J is non-zero. The emphasis is on J=J_{\text{max}} and in particular J=9^{+} in the g_{9/2} shell. It is noted that high overlaps can be…

An effective two-body interaction is constructed from a new Reid-like $NN$ potential for a large no-core space consisting of six major shells and is used to generate the shell-model properties for light nuclei from $A$=2 to 6. (For…
Large-space no-core shell model calculations have been performed for A=3-6 nuclei, using a starting-energy-independent two-body effective interaction derived by application of the Lee-Suzuki similarity transformation. This transformation…
We are presenting the first ab initio structure investigation of the loosely bound 11-Be nucleus, together with a study of the lighter isotope 9-Be. The nuclear structure of these isotopes is particularly interesting due to the appearance…
Excited 0+ states are studied in the framework of the projected shell model, aiming at understanding the nature of these states in deformed nuclei in general, and the recently observed 13 excited 0+ states in 158Gd in particular. The model,…
We define the ``quadrupole ratio'' $r_Q = \dfrac{Q_0(S)}{Q_0(B)}$ where $Q_0(S)$ is the intrinsic quadrupole moment obtained from the static quadrupole moment of the $2_1^+$ state of an even-even nucleus and $Q_0(B)$ the intrinsic…

In this article, we study the final-state rescattering effects in the decays $B^0\to \chi_{c0}K^{*0}$ and $B^+ \to \chi_{c0}K^{*+}$, and observe the corrections are zero in the SU(3) limit, which is warranted by the heavy quark symmetry. It…
