10 uclear many-body problem configuration interaction, the shell model Many-body configurations and Hamiltonian Example study Binding energy, shell evolution and monopole Pairing interaction Multipole-multipole interaction, emergence of deformation and rotations Statistical approach and random matrix theory

11 The uclear Shell Model Many-body Hamiltonian d 5/2 Mean field and residual interactions Residual interactions Residual, depends on mean-fied Depends on truncation of space and basis ot exactly two-body

12 Many-body formalism Many-body state reation and annihilation operators

13 Shell model interactions Two-body Hamiltonian in the particle-particle channel: where o-core shell model bare interaction Renormalized interactions improve convergence Traditional shell model Simple potential interactions Renormalized bare interactions to include core and core excitations Phenomenological interactions determined from fits.

14 Typical shell model study Shell model codes: ushell: Antoine: Redstick: osmo: (click osmo) For demonstration we use osmo code. Anatomy of a shell model study 1. Identify system, valence space, limitations on many-body states to study (cosmoxml) 2. reate a list of many-body states, typically fixed J z projection T z, and parity (Xsysmbs) 3. reate many-body Hamiltonian (XHH+JJ) 4. Diagonalize many-body Hamiltonian using exact, lanczos, davidson or other method (texactev, davidson_file). 5. Database eigenstates states and determine their spins (XSHLJT) 6. Define other operators and compute various properties verlaps and spectroscopic factors (XSHLSF) Electromagnetic transition rates (XSHLEMB)

15 The simple model Single-j level Ω=2j+1 single-particle orbitals: m=-j, j-1, j umber of nucleons : 0 Ω umber of many-body states: Ω!/((!(Ω-)!)
