Shell-model calculations with modern nucleon-nucleon potentials

Abstract

We report on a study of neutron-rich even-mass Te isotopes in terms of the shell model employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The strong short-range repulsion of the latter is renormalized by constructing a smooth low-momentum potential, V-low-k, that is used directly as input for the calculation of the effective interaction. In this paper, after a brief review of the theoretical framework, we present our results. Comparison shows that they are in very good agreement with the available experimental data.
