Energy levels in light nuclei

The recent application of the shell model theory to the energy level structure of light nuclei has made apparent a lack of experimental data concerning these nuclei. The impossibility of accurately criticizing the theory on the basis of available experimental results has made imperative new investigations to determine the properties of light nuclei. The purpose of this thesis, then, is to present the data obtained in these investigations of light nuclei level structure and to attempt a qualitative explanation of the structure of the mass 9 nuclei by means of a simple model. The data will also be compared to the predictions of the shell theory and, in the case of C12 states, to the predictions of the alpha particle model also.
