The last decade has witnessed both quantitative and qualitative progress in shell-model studies, which have resulted remarkable gains our understanding of the structure nucleus. Indeed, it is now possible to diagonalize matrices determinantal spaces dimensionality up ${10}^{9}$ using Lanczos tridiagonal construction, whose formal numerical aspects are analyzed this review. In addition, many new approximation methods been developed order overcome limitations. New effective nucleon-nucleon...

The residual part of the realistic forces---obtained after extracting monopole terms responsible for bulk properties---is strongly dominated by pairing and quadrupole interactions, with important \ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\cdot}\ensuremath{\sigma}\ensuremath{\tau}, octupole, hexadecapole contributions. Their forms retain simplicity traditional plus multipole models, while eliminating their flaws through a normalization mechanism dictated universal...

Exact diagonalizations with a minimally modified realistic force lead to detailed agreement measured level schemes and electromagnetic transitions in $^{48}$Ca, $^{48}$Sc, $^{48}$Ti, $^{48}$V, $^{48}$Cr $^{48}$Mn. Gamow-Teller strength functions are systematically calculated reproduce the data within standard quenching factor. Their fine structure indicates that fragmentation makes much unobservable. As by-product, calculations suggest microscopic description of onset rotational motion. The...

We have calculated the Gamow-Teller matrix elements of 64 decays nuclei in mass range $A=41\ensuremath{-}50$. In all cases valence space full $\mathrm{pf}$ shell is used. Agreement with experimental results demands introduction an average quenching factor $q=0.744\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.015$ slightly smaller but statistically compatible $\mathrm{sd}$-shell value, thus indicating that present number close to limit for large $A$.

Binding energies and other global properties of nuclei in the middle $\mathrm{pf}$ shell, such as $M1,E2,$ Gamow-Teller sum rules, have been obtained using a new shell model code (NATHAN) written quasispin formalism $j\ensuremath{-}j$-coupled basis. An extensive comparison is made with recently available Monte Carlo results effective interaction KB3. The binding for nearly all ${1f}_{7/2}$ are compared measured (and extrapolated) results.

Exact diagonalizations with a realistic interaction show that configurations four neutrons in major shell and protons another---or the same---major shell, behave systematically as backbending rotors. The dominance of q\ensuremath{\cdot}q component is related to an approximate ``quasi-SU3'' symmetry. It suggested onset rotational motion rare earth nuclei due promotion eight particle blocks shells above ones currently filling. Assuming ``pseudo-SU3'' coupling for particles lower orbits, it...

The collective yrast band of the nucleus ${}^{48}\mathrm{Cr}$ is studied using spherical shell model and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) method. Both approaches produce basically same axially symmetric intrinsic state up to the---accurately reproduced---observed backbending. Agreement between both calculations extends most observables. only significant discrepancy comes from static moments inertia can be attributed need a more refined treatment pairing correlations in HFB calculation.

The neutron-rich lead isotopes, up to $^{216}\mathrm{Pb}$, have been studied for the first time, exploiting fragmentation of a primary uranium beam at FRS-RISING setup GSI. observed isomeric states exhibit electromagnetic transition strengths which deviate from state-of-the-art shell-model calculations. It is shown that their complete description demands introduction effective three-body interactions and two-body operators in conventional neutron valence space beyond $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$.

Excited states have been studied in 35Ar following the 16O(24Mg,1alpha1n)35Ar fusion-evaporation reaction at 60 MeV using Ge-detector array GASP. A comparison with mirror nucleus 35Cl shows two remarkable features: (i) surprisingly large energy difference for 13/2(-) states, which hitherto overlooked electromagnetic spin-orbit term is shown to play a major role, and (ii) very different decay pattern 7/2(-) provides direct evidence of isospin mixing.

The collective yrast band and the high spin states of nucleus $^{50}\mathrm{Cr}$ are studied using spherical shell model cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method. two descriptions lead to nearly same values for relevant observables. A first backbending is predicted at $I=10\ensuremath{\hbar}$ corresponding a noncollective transition. At $J=16\ensuremath{\hbar}$ second occurs, associated configuration change that can also be interpreted as triaxial
