Systematic study of even-even $^{20-32}$Mg isotopes

Abstract

A systematic study for 2$^+_1$ and 4$^+_1$ energies for even-even $^{20-32}$Mg by means of large-scale shell model calculations using the effective interaction USDB and USDBPN with SD and SDPN model space respectively. The reduced transition probability {\em B}({\em E}2;$\uparrow$) were also calculated for the chain of Mg isotopes.Very good agreement were obtained by comparing the first 2$^+_1$ and 4$^+_1$ levels for all isotopes with the recently available experimental data and with the previous theoretical work using 3DAMP+GCM model, but studying the transition strengths {\em B}({\em E}2; 0$^+_{g.s.} \rightarrow2^+_1$) for Mg isotopes using constant proton-neutron effective charges prove the limitations of the present large-scale calculations to reproduce the experiment in detail.
