Simple approximation for the starting-energy-independent two-body effective interaction with applications to 6Li
We apply the Lee-Suzuki iteration method to calculate the linked-folded
diagram series for a new Nijmegen local NN potential. We obtain an exact
starting-energy-independent effective two-body interaction for a multi-shell,
no-core, harmonic-oscillator model space. It is found that the resulting
effective-interaction matrix elements can be well approximated by the Brueckner
G-matrix elements evaluated at starting energies selected in a simple way.
These starting energies are closely related to the energies of the initial
two-particle states in the ladder diagrams. The ``exact'' and approximate
effective interactions are used to calculate the energy spectrum of 6Li in
order to test the utility of the approximate form.Comment: 15 text pages and 2 PostScript figures (available upon request).

SMMC method for two-neutrino double beta decay
Shell Model Monte Carlo (SMMC) techniques are used to calculate two-neutrino
double beta decay matrix elements. We validate the approach against direct
diagonalization for Ca in the complete -shell using the KB3
interaction. The method is then applied to the decay of Ge in the
model space using a newly calculated realistic
interaction. Our result for the matrix element is MeV, in
agreement with the experimental value.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures available at

Suppression of core polarization in halo nuclei
We present a microscopic study of halo nuclei, starting from the Paris and
Bonn potentials and employing a two-frequency shell model approach. It is found
that the core-polarization effect is dramatically suppressed in such nuclei.
Consequently the effective interaction for halo nucleons is almost entirely
given by the bare G-matrix alone, which presently can be evaluated with a high
degree of accuracy. The experimental pairing energies between the two halo
neutrons in He and Li nuclei are satisfactorily reproduced by our
calculation. It is suggested that the fundamental nucleon-nucleon interaction
can be probed in a clearer and more direct way in halo nuclei than in ordinary
nuclei.Comment: 11 pages, RevTex, 2 postscript figures; major revisions, matches

Realistic shell-model calculations for proton particle-neutron hole nuclei around 132Sn
We have performed shell-model calculations for nuclei with proton particles
and neutron holes around 132Sn using a realistic effective interaction derived
from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. For the proton-neutron channel this
is explicitly done in the particle-hole formalism. The calculated results are
compared with the available experimental data, particular attention being
focused on the proton particle-neutron hole multiplets. A very good agreement
is obtained for all the four nuclei considered, 132Sb, 130Sb, 133Te and 131Sb.
We predict many low-energy states which have no experimental counterpart. This
may stimulate, and be helpful to, future experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, to be published on Physical Review
Bonn Potential and Shell-Model Calculations for 206,205,204Pb
The structure of the nuclei 206,205,204Pb is studied interms of shell model
employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the Bonn A
nucleon-nucleon potential. The energy spectra, binding energies and
electromagnetic properties are calculated and compared with experiment. A very
good overall agreement is obtained. This evidences the reliability of our
realistic effective interaction and encourages use of modern realistic
potentials in shell-model calculations for heavy-mass nuclei.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Physical Review
