Jmg. Gomez et al., SPECTRAL STATISTICS OF CALCIUM ISOTOPES FROM REALISTIC SHELL-MODEL CALCULATIONS, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 58(4), 1998, pp. 2108-2114
The spectral statistics of calcium isotopes are studied with realistic
shell-model calculations, For these nuclei, there are significant dev
iations from the predictions of the random-matrix theory. In particula
r, we observe an order-chaos transition when the excitation energy is
increased and a clear quantum signature of the breaking of integrabili
ty when the single-particle energy spacings are decreased. [S0556-2813
