Lawson, R D

The goal of nuclear shell theory is to describe the energy levels of nuclei and transitions between these levels. Ideally the theory is based on known nuclear forces. In practice, however, a phenomenological description, in which the interactions between nucleons in various shells are parameterized, may be all that we can realistically hope for. The pioneering book on this subject is de Shalit and Talmi's Nuclear Shell Theory, published in 1963. Lawson continues their phenomenological approach in a more up-to-date treatment.
