We calculated the number of energy levels in many-fermion systems using a harmonic oscillator potential. Our exact method accounts for shell structure, enabling extensions to include isospin and deformation effects.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Quantum Mechanics

Background:

  • Understanding the energy levels of many-fermion systems is crucial in nuclear physics.
  • Harmonic oscillator potentials are common models for confined systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compute the number of energy levels in a many-fermion system as a function of excitation energy.
  • To develop an exact formalism that incorporates shell structure effects on level density.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing an exact formalism for a many-fermion system confined by a harmonic-oscillator potential.
  • Calculating the number of levels as a function of excitation energy.

Main Results:

  • The number of levels was computed accurately, inherently including shell structure effects.
