Calculation of shell model energies for states in210Bi

Abstract

A total of 34 experimental levels of {sup 210}Bi have been fitted with a generalized intermediate coupling model involving a n-p interaction with a Gaussian radial dependence with and without coupling to an octupole phonon. {chi}{sup 2} values are somewhat lower with the octupole parameter. Comparison of {chi}{sup 2} values with those obtained by fitting the same 34 experimental levels using the delta force radial dependence indicate the Gaussian radial dependence is 8{endash}10 times lower. The n-p interaction parameters are then used to calculate other {sup 210}Bi levels. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
