Dipole and Quadrupole Moments of Mirror Nuclei 8B and 8li

Abstract

Magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of the mirror nuclei 8Li and 8B are analysed in the framework of the multiparticle shell model by using two approaches : i) the one-particle spectroscopic factors and ii) the one-particle fractional parentage coefficients. These two approaches are compared both each to other and with a microscopic multicluster model. The one-particle nucleon states are calculated taking into account the continuum by the method of the expansion of the Sturm - Liouville functions. The experimental magnetic and quadrupole moments of 8Li and 8Bare reproduced well by using fractional parentage coefficients technique. The root mean-square radii and the radial density distributions are obtained for these nuclei.
