Shell structure in empirical p-n interactions: comparison with Nilsson and shell model calculations

Calculations of the variations of residual proton-neutron (p-n) interaction matrix elements for three different mass regions are presented within the frameworks of two approaches, the Nilsson and shell models, which differ substantially in the basis states and interactions used. The excellent agreem...

Summary:Calculations of the variations of residual proton-neutron (p-n) interaction matrix elements for three different mass regions are presented within the frameworks of two approaches, the Nilsson and shell models, which differ substantially in the basis states and interactions used. The excellent agreement obtained with experiment in both approaches points to the simplicity of the underlying physics in terms of orbital overlap arguments.
