Phys. Rev. C 67, 054309 (2003) [7 pages]Spin- and parity-dependent nuclear level densities and the exponential convergence methodReceived 26 December 2001; revised 28 January 2003; published 21 May 2003 The knowledge of the nuclear spin- and parity-dependent level densities ρ(E,J,π) is important for understanding statistical properties of nuclei and reaction rates. We show that the earlier suggested method of exponential extrapolation, which allows one to find the yrast energy with high accuracy even for very large shell model Hamiltonian matrices, can be combined with the formalism of statistical spectroscopy in order to obtain the reliable level density. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
