Abstract

The lecture presents an introduction to shell model applications in nuclear spectroscopy. The evaluation of single particle energies, two-body interactions and effective operators and their correlation with the choice of model space is described. The results of the empirical shell model approach in a minimum valence space and of large-scale shell model calculations are summarised for various regions in the nuclidic chart. The mapping of the deformed and the spherical shell model is demonstrated, and the evolution of shell structure towards exotic nuclei is discussed.
