There is evidence that the light nuclei in the aluminum region have rotational states. It is known from studies of heavy rotating nuclei that an independent particle model for a deformed well, as used by Nilsson, is a good approximation for many of the properties of these collective states. However, it has been clear for some time that two body correlations are important for a more complete understanding of the situation. Because the number of single particle states for the light nuclei is relatively small and because isobanic spin is a good quantum number, studies on the effect of two body forces on binding energies and energy levels were undertaken. The method of Bacher and Goudsmit was employed to find relations among binding energies which depend only upon the existence of two body forces and the assumption that the deformed wave function coupling scheme is a good first approximation. The relations so obtained are well fulfilled by the data while corresponding relations obtained for the spherical shell model are not. Some of the possible excited states in these nuclei are also discussed and estimates made of their energies. (auth)
