Wave functions in the f7/2 shell, for educational purposes and ideas
Abstract
We use the spectrum of 42Sc as input to calculate wave functions and energy levels of all nuclei in the single-j-shell model with j equal to f7/2. The value of these results for educational purposes is pointed out. Also new insights emerge. For example, it is noted that for the (Z=4,N=4) nucleus 48Cr, a good quantum number comes out: (-1)(vp+vn)/2, where vp and vn are the seniority quantum numbers of the protons and neutrons, respectively.
