Shell model structures of low-lying excited states in Li-6,Li-7

Electron and intermediate energy proton scattering data from Li-6 and Li-7, both elastic and inelastic, have been analyzed using wave functions obtained from shell model calculations involving spaces ranging from the conventional 0 (h) over bar omega space to the (0+2+4)(h) over bar omega one. The results, along with those of the static and dynamic properties of the low-lying spectra of the nuclei, allow for a strict assessment of the wave functions, as well as giving an indication of possible clusterlike behavior in those systems.
