Energy Levels Calculations in 23 Mg/ 23 Na and 47 Cr/ 47 V Mirror Nuclei

Abstract

Coulomb Displacement Energies in mirror nuclei 23 Mg, 23 Na and 47 Cr, 47 V have been calculated using shell model code OXBASH [1] and compared with experimental results. The calculations were carried out in the USD model space with the W Hamiltonian [2]. This code which is based on one of the most applicable nuclear models, the shell model, deals with evaluating energy levels in nuclei. A comparison had been made between computational results in this paper and the available experimental data to test theoretical shell model description of nuclear structure in mirror nuclei. The energy states of mirror nuclei are almost identical, except for the small effects due to Coulomb interaction where the symmetry in being broken. The calculated energy spectrum is in good agreement with the available experimental data.
