The finite range simple effective interaction including tensor terms

Abstract

The prediction of single particle level crossing phenomenon between $2p_{3/2}$ and $1f_{5/2}$ orbitals in $Ni$- and $Cu$-isotopic chains by the finite range simple effective interaction without requiring the tensor part is discussed. In this case the experimentally observed crossing could be studied as a function of nuclear matter incompressibility, $K({\rho }_0)$. The estimated crossing for the neutron number $N$=46 could be reproduced by the equation of state corresponding to $K({\rho }_0)$=240 MeV. However, the observed proton gaps between the $1h_{11/2}$ and $1g_{7/2}$ shells in $Sn$ and $Sb$ isotopic chain, and the neutron gaps between the $1i_{13/2}$ and $1h_{9/2}$ shells in $N$=82 isotones, as well as the shell closure properties at $N$=28 require explicit consideration of a tensor part as the central contribution is not enough to initiate the required level splittings.
