K. Kar et al., SPECTRAL DISTRIBUTION STUDIES OF FP SHELL NUCLEI WITH A MODIFIED KUO-BROWN INTERACTION, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 55(3), 1997, pp. 1260-1265
The structure of nuclei in the lower half of the fp shell is investiga
ted by the spectral distribution method using the modified Kuo-Brown i
nteraction. This interaction recently showed success in reproducing ob
served properties through detailed shell model studies. Spectral distr
ibution studies avoid explicit diagonalization and hold promise for ap
plications to astrophysics.
