Shell model

Shell model. Notes: 1. The shell model is most useful when applied to closed-shell or near closed-shell nuclei. 2. Away from closed-shell nuclei collective models taking into account the rotation and vibration of the nucleus are more appropriate.

  1. Shell model Notes: 1. The shell model is most useful when applied to closed-shell or near closed-shell nuclei. 2. Away from closed-shell nuclei collective models taking into account the rotation and vibration of the nucleus are more appropriate. 3. Simple versions of the shell model do not take into account pairing forces, the effects of which are to make two like-nucleons combine to give zero orbital angular momentum. The pairing force increases with l. 4. Shell model does not treat distortion effects (deformed nuclei) due to the attraction between one or more outer nucleons and the closed-shell core.

  4. Shell model Ground state:(near closed shells) 1. Angular momentum of odd-A nuclei is determined by the angular momentum of the last nucleon that is odd. 2. Even-even nuclei have zero ground-state spin, because the net angular momentum associated with even N and even Z is zero, and even parity. 3. In odd-odd nuclei the last neutron couples to the last proton with their intrinsic spins in parallel orientation. Provided that the ordering is known….!!
