The ground-state characteristics of deuteron using gaussian potentials

The translation invariant shell model is applied to the deuteron nucleus with even number of quanta of excitations in the range 0 less than or equal to N less than or equal to 10. The residual interparticle interactions for this nucleus consist of central, tensor, spin-orbit and quadratic spin-orbit forces with Gaussian radial dependences. The parameters of these interactions, are fitted to reproduce good agreements between the calculated and the experimental values of the deuteron binding energy, mean-square radius, D-state probability, magnetic dipole moment and electric quadrupole moment.
