A model of nucleons moving in an effective mean field with residual interactions, organizing nuclear levels into shell-model configurations.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Magic-number patterns motivated an independent-particle shell structure with strong spin–orbit splitting.
The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.
wp-physics-nuclear_shell_modelnobel-shell-modeliaea-ensdfThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The shell model truncates to selected single-particle orbitals and an effective interaction.
The target is a model, idealization, restricted ansatz, approximation scheme, phenomenological fit, or historical representation used for the source system or theory. It need not have a universal small error parameter and is not thereby a controlled limit or effective theory. The edge label and detail must identify the precise status.
