My task is to assign spin and parities to different nucleus using the shell model and don´t look up the answers in a formula collection (for the ground states).

First I have Al-27, it consists of 14 neutrons and 13 protons. So all the six 1d(j=5/2) states are occupied for the neutrons and there is no netron above this level. There will exist one gap in the 1d(j=5/2)-level for protons, so I have a "hole" in this level. Hence; my total spinn for the nucleus will be 5/2. And science the hole is in the d-shell; L= 2, so the parity will be: (-1)^(2) = postive.

(5/2)+ is also the correct answer, Iam doing the right procedure?

Second I have K-40, it consists of 19 protons and 21 neutrons. There is one neutron in the 1f(j = 7/2) state and all others are below in filled subshells. There is only three protons in the 1d(j=3/2) state, so there is a "hole" there.
NOW how do I get the parity and spin for this nucleus?

(the correct answer is 4- )

I have tried to add the spins of the proton-"hole" and the "valence-neutron", it does not fit to me, what shall I do?

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
