Abstract: In this study, the energy levels, electromagnetic transition probability, and charge density distribution of the ¹⁸O nucleus were calculated using the NuShellX@MSU code within the sdpn-shell and using the effective USDEPN and WCPN interactions. The charge density distribution values were also reasonably consistent with existing experimental data. Comparing the theoretical and experimental results indicates that applying the nuclear shell model using the USDEPN and WCPN interactions is successful within the sdpn-shell.

Keywords: energy levels, electromagnetic transitions, charge density, NuShellX@MSU code.
