Energy Levels Calculations of 24 Al and 25 Al Isotopes

Abstract

In this article, the energy levels of Aluminum isotopes 24Al and 25Al are calculated using OXBASH shell model code. The calculations were carried out in the SD model space with the W and CW Hamiltonian [1, 2] using the code OXBASH for windows PC [3]. This code which is based on one of the most applicable nuclear models, the shell model, deals with evaluating energy levels in nuclei. Using this code to calculate the energy levels of an isotope, produces several files that contains a set of data. The ground state energy of a nucleus and also the probable energies of excitation levels can be calculated by OXBASH. Programs will be reliable only when results meet experimental procedures. A compilation of SD-shell energy levels calculated with the USD Hamiltonian was published around 1988. A comparison had been made between our results and the available experimental data to test theoretical shell model description of nuclear structure in Aluminum isotopes. The calculated energy spectrum is in good agreement with the available experimental data.
