Information on level density for nuclei with mass numbers A = 20 - 250 is deduced from discrete low-lying levels and neutron resonance data. The odd-mass nuclei exhibit in general 4 - 7 times the level density found for its neighboring…
We apply the auxiliary-field Monte Carlo approach to the nuclear shell model in the 1s-0d configuration space. The Hamiltonian was chosen to have isovector pairing and isoscalar multipole-multipole interactions, and the calculations were…
