Ab Initio No Core Shell Model Study of Neutron Rich Nitrogen Isotopes

Abstract: In the present paper, we have calculated the energy spectra for neutron rich $^{18-22}$N isotopes using no core shell model (NCSM).To calculate the energy spectrum we have used three different $NN$ potentials, inside non-local outside Yukawa (INOY), next-to-next-to-next-leading order (N3LO) from chiral effective field theory and charge-dependent Bonn 2000 (CDB2K). The INOY potential, which is a two body interaction but also have the effect of three body forces by short range and non local character present in it. The calculations have been done at $\hbar\Omega$=20 MeV, 14 MeV and 12 MeV using INOY, N3LO and CDB2K potentials, respectively. Apart from this, we have also performed shell model calculations with the YSOX interaction.The results with INOY interaction show good agreement with the experimental data in comparison to other three interactions. We have also shown the occupancy of different orbitals involved corresponding to the largest model space ($N_{max}$= 4) in the present calculations.
