For this purpose, we employ charge-dependent Bonn 2000 (CDB2K), inside non-local outside Yukawa (INOY) and chiral next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^{3}$LO) nucleon-nucleon interactions. Low-lying energy spectra, electromagnetic properties and point-proton radii for these nuclei up to basis space $N_{\\rm max}$ = 4 are calculated. Binding energies obtained with INOY interaction are in better agreement with the experimental values as compared to other \\textit{ab initio} interactions. We also show the behavior of ground state energy and point-proton radii with the NCSM parameters, $\\hbar$$\\Omega$ and $N_{\\rm max}$. We report a strong sensitivity of the B(E2) values from the first excited $2^+$ to the ground state of $^{18}$C and $^{20}$C to the nuclear interaction. Shell model calculations with YSOX interaction are also performed, and corresponding results are compared with ab initio one.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-10-27T07:24:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ab initio no-core shell model", "initio no-core shell model study", "initio no-core shell model approach", "interaction" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
