Fullfpshell calculation of52Sc

Abstract

The spectra and electromagnetic transitions of the odd-odd nucleus {sup 52}Sc are calculated in the nuclear shell model approach, using the full fp shell basis functions with no truncation. Two of the most used two-body effective interactions in the fp shell yield quite different nuclear spectra. The energy levels from the two interactions are compared, as well as the magnetic and quadrupole moments and the electromagnetic transitions. The available experimental data, mostly 1{sup +} levels, are not sufficient to conclude which interaction provides a better fit. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
