Abstract

Matrix elements of the residual interaction in 208Pb are derived from the wavefunctions and the energies of states and configurations in 208Pb. From the experimentally determined wavefunctions of 20 low-lying states in 208Pb with spins I π = 2 −, 3 −, 4 −, 5 −, 6 −, 7 − one obtains matrix elements of the effective residual interaction among particlehole configurations defined with respect to the physical ground state of 208Pb. The average value of these matrix elements is about 100 keV. No significant difference in the average value of the off-diagonal matrix elements is found for the different spin values. Also many nondiagonal matrix elements have values approaching the diagonal matrix elements.
