SELF-CONSISTENT-FIELD NUCLEAR WAVE FUNCTIONS FOR O$sup 16$, O$sup 15$ AND EXPLANATION OF SPINORBIT COUPLING THROUGH TENSOR FORCE

OSTI ID:4760860
A matrix version of Hartree-Fock self-consistent-field calculation is applied to O/sup 16/ and O/sup 15/ nuclei. The two-body interaction operator employed has a Serber exchange character with repulsive core and tensor component. A projection operator technique was used to construct /sup 1,1/S wave functions from the various excited configurations which interact with the ground state. The configuration interaction calculation gives the ground state energy of O/sup 16/ to be -129.91 Mev, neglecting the Coulomb forces, which contribute 18.24 Mev. An attempt is made to perturb the shell model ground state wave function by mixing d orbital with occupied p orbital and f orbital with occupied s orbital, but it turned out that no such mixing occurs. The p/sub 3/2/ - p/sup 1/2/ splitting in O/sup 15/ nucleus due to the tensor force is estimated to be 4.05 Mev, but the calculation puts the p/sup 3/2/ level lower than the p/sup 1/2/ level.
