The Sturdiness of the Shell Model: Informal Review
Castaly Fan, L. Zamick · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2022
With shell model codes being able to encompassing larger and larger spaces we find that the percentage occupancy of the leading spaces becomes smaller and smaller. How can the shell model survive in such circumstances? We will not solve this puzzle here but rather will show examples where, with some explanations, the shell model holds fast. We will use nuclear moments as an example.
