The modified Kuo-Herling empirical interaction
For spin-parity assignments we used as a guidance the results of
shell model calculations with the „modified” Kuo-Herling interaction
in the configuration space Z<82 and N<126.
We modified the original Kuo-Herling
interaction in order to account for:
• recent revison of the 207Tl mass;
• recently located yrast states in 204Pt,
205Au, 205Pb, 206Pb, 206Tl, 206Hg.

calculations with the modified Kuo-Herling interaction

Conclusions and Outlook
Gamma-ray spectroscopic studies with deep-inelastic reactions
provide means for accessing yrast structures in nuclei located south
of doubly magic 208Pb.
New yrast structures identified in 203,204,206,208Hg, 205,209Tl and 210,211Pb
form a very good testing ground for the Vlow-k realistic shell model
calculations in the regions of neutron-rich nuclei.
Calculations with the Vlow-k realistic interaction around 208Pb provide a
good description of yrast states in the Z=82 Pb isotopes, N=126
isotones and nuclei with Z<82 and N>126.
It is less satisfactory for the nuclides from the region Z<82 and N<126
(having neutron and proton holes)
