Symbolic algorithms for the computation of Moshinsky brackets and nuclear matrix elements Original Research Article

To facilitate the use of the extended nuclear shell model (NSM), a Fermi module for calculating some of its basic quantities in the framework of Maple is provided. The Moshinsky brackets, the matrix elements for several central and non-central interactions between nuclear two-particle states as well as their expansion in terms of Talmi integrals are easily given within a symbolic formulation. All of these quantities are available for interactive work.
