shell model determining spin and parity - urgent
Find the spin and parity of [tex] _{20}^{41}Ca [/tex] and [tex]_{20}^{40}Ca [/tex]
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Nuclear/shell.html
For [tex]_{20}^{41}Ca [/tex]we've an odd number of neutrons which will lie in 1f(7/2) level
so we have spin 7/2 and parity -
For [tex]_{20}^{40}Ca [/tex] both the unpaired neutron and proon will be in the 1d(3/2) level which has parity +, do I need to add together the two spins in this level. So I'd get spin 3 with parity +.
