Abstract

Continuum coupling correction to binding energies in the neutron rich oxygen and fluorine isotopes is studied using the Shell Model Embedded in the Continuum. We discuss the importance of different effects, such as the position of one-neutron emission threshold, the effective interaction or the number of valence particles on the magnitude of this correction.
