New shell-model investigation of the 208Pb mass region

Abstract

In the present contribution, a new investigation of the heavy mass region beyond 208Pb closed core is performed within the shell-model framework. Making use of a new effective interaction H208 derived from CD-Bonn nucleon–nucleon potential through the procedure, the low-lying state energies, the electromagnetic transitions, and the binding energies of Z = 82 isotopes and N = 126 isotones are calculated, providing a complete description of their wave functions components. Our calculations are widely discussed and compared to KHBW theoretical results and to the experimental data.
