A study of nuclei of astrophysical interest in the continuum shell model

Abstract

We present here the first application of realistic shell model (SM) including coupling between many-particle (quasi-)bound states and the continuum of one-particle scattering states to the spectroscopy of 8B and to the calculation of astrophysical factors in the reaction 7Be(p,gamma)8B.
