Starting with the NN interaction, that fits two-body scattering and bound state data we evaluate the nuclear properties of $A = 47$ and $A = 49$ nuclei while preserving all the underlying symmetries. Due to model space limitations and the absence of 3-body interactions, we incorporate phenomenological interaction terms determined by fits to $A = 48$ nuclei in a previous effort. Our modified Hamiltonian produces reasonable spectra for these odd mass nuclei. In addition to the differences in single-particle basis states, the absence of a single-particle Hamiltonian in our no-core approach complicates comparisons with valence effective NN interactions. We focus on purely off-diagonal two-body matrix elements since they are not affected by ambiguities in the different roles for one-body potentials and we compare selected sets of $fp$-shell matrix elements of our initial and modified Hamiltonians in the harmonic oscillator basis with those of a recent model $fp$-shell interaction, the GXPF1 interaction of Honma, Otsuka, Brown and Mizusaki. While some significant differences emerge from these comparisons, there is an overall reasonably good correlation between our off-diagonal matrix elements and those of GXPF1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-03-17T18:47:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "no-core shell model", "hamiltonian produces reasonable spectra", "phenomenological interaction terms", "purely off-diagonal two-body matrix elements", "no-core approach complicates comparisons" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/0954-3899/37/5/055109", "journal": "Journal of Physics G Nuclear Physics", "year": 2010, "month": "May", "volume": 37, "number": 5, "pages": "055109" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 849139, "adsabs": "2010JPhG...37e5109N" } } }
