Shell evolution for neutron-rich 46–54Ar isotopes in the full and truncated fp neutron model spaces

Abstract

The shell evolution of even–even drip line argon isotopes [Formula: see text] has been investigated via the shell model calculations using SDPF-U and SDPF-NR two-body effective interactions in two different shell model spaces [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this work, the energy of first [Formula: see text], reduced transition probability [Formula: see text], excitation energy levels as well as how the proton shells evolve with [Formula: see text] have been studied. Excellent agreements were obtained for the first [Formula: see text] level along the investigated isotopes within [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] model spaces.
