Shell-model Coulomb energies with deformation

A shell-model Coulomb energy equation which includes deformation effects has been obtained. It describes over 250 experimental Coulomb displacement energies with 4AZ>20). The Coulomb interactions between valence-core and valence-valence protons are used as adjustable parameters while deformation parameters are derived from other experimental sources.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/24809/1/0000235.pd
