Three-body monopole corrections to the realistic interactions

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that a simple three-body monopole correction can effectively resolve spectroscopic issues across multiple nuclear shells, eliminating the need for extensive modifications to realistic nuclear interactions.

Contribution

The introduction of a straightforward three-body monopole term that significantly improves the accuracy of nuclear spectroscopic predictions.

Findings

Resolves spectroscopic problems in $p$, $sd$, and $pf$ shells

Reduces the need for drastic revisions of realistic potentials

Simplifies the modeling of nuclear interactions

Abstract

It is shown that a very simple three-body monopole term can solve practically all the spectroscopic problems--in the $p$, $sd$ and $pf$ shells--that were hitherto assumed to need drastic revisions of the realistic potentials.
