sd nuclei and the Shell Model For the description of the positive parity sd states, the remarkable success obtained by the ‘Universal SD’ interaction of Wildenthal and Brown 16O core, nucleus in the sd shell, a 0w interaction For the description of the negative parity sd states, no interaction existed to describe these states throughout the sd shell. Such an interaction has been built in Strasbourg. 4He core, nucleons in the p, sd and fp shells with one jump possible between the p and sd shell or between the sd and fp shell. This is a full 1w interaction

The new 1w PSDPF interaction Building blocks : the 0w CK (Cohen-Kurath) interaction for the p shell the 0w USDB interaction (Brown) for the sd shell the 0w SDPF interaction (Nowacki-Poves) for the sdpf shells the two body cross matrix elements p → sd and sd → pf were obtained through a fitting procedure on negative parity states at the beginning and end of sd (Antoine) More details in : M. Bouhelal et al, Acta Physica Pol. B 40 (2009) 639 M. Bouhelal et al, Eur. Phys. J. A 42 (2009) 529. M. Bouhelal et al, Nucl. Phys. A 864 (2011) 113. Not only the energy spectra but also the electromagnetic transitions (Nathan) M1, E2 for transitions + → + or - → - E1, M2, E3 for transitions + → -

Applications of the PSDPF interaction the negative parity and deformed bands in the Ne and Na isotopes the ‘collective’ 3- states throughout in the second half of the shell, the long lived negative parity states from the deep inelastic reactions the negative parity intruder states in the N = 20 isotones 34Si, 35P and 36S : energy spectra and electromagnetic transitions In general, the evolution in energy of the 0p, 1p-1h, 2p-2h, 3p-3h ... states as a function of Z and N for sd nuclei.
