Abstract

Binding energy of the ground state, energy levels and the B(E2) values of both positive and negative parities for ^202,204Au, ^202-206Hg, ^202-206Tl and ^202-206Pb isotopes have been calculated through shell model calculations using the shell model code OXBASH for Windows employing the Modified Kuo-Herling interaction (khhe) for neutron and proton hole orbits in ²⁰⁸Pb. The binding energy calculations were in good agreement with experimental data. The predicted low-lying levels (energies, spins and parities) and B(E2) values results were reasonably consistent with the available experimental data. Truncation model space was applied on the ²⁰²Au isotope, where πg7/2 and νh9/2 kept filling as well as νh9/2 for²⁰²Hg and ²⁰²Tl.

Key words: Shell model, B(E2) value, binding energy, OXBASH.
