Abstract
An analysis of the energy differences of the isobaric triplet of mass number 14 is presented using the harmonic oscillator shell model for the nuclear wave functions. We attribute these differences to the Coulomb and another charge dependent potential, which we have presented previously, and we calculate them in first order perturbation theory. Assuming that the spring constant of the wave function is the same for each member of the triplet, we calculate its value from the experimental data on the outer pair. Good agreement of the position of the third member with the experimental situation is then found when the intermediate coupling wave function of Visscher and Ferrell is adopted for the calculation.
