Title: Quadrupole moments of sd-shell nuclei

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Shell-model calculations are presented for electric quadrupole moments of A = 17-39 nuclei. The shell-model wave functions, which span the complete 0d/sub 5/2/-ls/sub 1/2/-0d/sub 3/2/ model space in all instances, are obtained by diagonalizing an sd-shell Hamiltonian which consists of a fixed single-particle energy spectrum and a single set of two-body matrix elements scaled as a function of the mass number A. Results obtained with harmonic oscillator and Saxon-Woods single-particle radial wave functions and matched effective-charge models are presented for ground states of odd-even and doubly odd nuclei and for J/sup ..pi../ = 2/sup +/ first-excited states of doubly even sd-shell nuclei.
