Binding energy and single–particle Energies in the 160 region

Abstract

In this paper we present the binding energy of ¹⁶0 together with single-particle energies in the oxygen region by folding together a Hamiltonian in the rest-frame of the nucleus with two-body correlation functions based on the Njimegen potential. We have found that the binding energies are very sensitive to the core radius r_c and that the effects of tensor correlations are non-negligible. Our calculated binding energy, EB= - 127.6MeV with r_c = 0.241 fm compares well with the experimental binding energy, E_B = - 127.6MeV.
