(Proceedings to be published in llNuovo Cimento.) RENORMAUZED FOLDED DIAGRAM EXPANSION FOR THE NUCLEAR GROUND STATE Richard L. Becker, Robert W. Jones, and Franz Molding 9 The extension of our earlier folded diagram expansion in the core interaction to one in the Bmeckner reaction matrix has been obtained. It includes the factorization of a renormahzed Broeckner-Hartree-Fock potential energy for "particle" states. PREDICTED INTERMEDIATE STRUCTURE IN HIGH-RESOLUTION DEEP-HOLE SPECTRA Richard L. Becker 10 The admixture into a deep single-hole state of 2 hofe-1 particle states nearly degenerate with it is shown to give rise to an intermediate structure in quasi-free knockout or pickup spectra. Detailed Bnieckner theoretical calculations are presented for a Or hole in '*0. Higher-resolution (pjp) data are urged. iii IV ML-EOCXEMZATKKi OF TwC BRANDO* SEMES WITH A NEW PROPAGATOR-RENORMALIZED REACTION MATRIX Ricked U tet&c? . ... 17 bttrod^ction oi a propagator-re noinuiacd reaction operator Bluj) yields an expa«k>n in B which possesses the stationary properties of Brando* \ series in the hare interaction.

McGrory 20 Several methods for determining appropriate effective Hamfltoniatts to be used in truncated shaft-model calculations are discussed. In particular, we discuss die determination of an effective Hamitonian which will reproduce in the <'s/2'fi/2 two-orbit space the results of a calculation with a given (1 + 2)-body HamiHonian in the ^5/2^ 1/2^3/2 three-orbit space. A PROGRAM FOR EXTENDED WEAK-COUPLING CALCULATIONS L. B. Hubbard and J. B. McGrory 21 A computer program for making shell-model calculations in a basis of states formed from coupling of eigenstates in meqtavaJent spaces is described. SHELL-MODEL CALCULATIONS OF NUCLEI IN THE 208Pb REGION J. B. McGrory, C. M. Ko, and T. T. S. Kuo 22 SbeB-model calculations for 2,°-2,2Pb, 204"206Fb, 2,0Po, 2I !At, and 2,2Rn have been carried out. In general, results are in excellent agreement with experiment. V COULOMB ENERGY DIFFERENCES IN *rf-SHELL NUCLEI IN THE CONVENTIONAL SHELL MODEL J. B. McGrury 22 Coulomb energy differences for isobark multipiets in A = 19. 20. and 21 nuclei have been calculated in terms of a conventional shdt-modd calcination in a neutron-proton formalism. ALPHA-PARTICLE SPECTROSCOPIC AMPLITUDES AND THE SW3) MODEL Munetake khnnura, Akito Arima. E. C. Halbert. and Tokuo Terasawa 23 Abstract of paper submitted for publication m Nuclear Physics. AN ANALYSIS OF SHELL-MODEL WAVE FUNCTIONS FOR *4 AND/* SHELL NUCLEI IN TERMS OF SU<3) REPRESENTATIONS J. B. McGrory , , 23 Nuclear shell-model wave functions for nuclei with A ~ 18-22, 34-38, and 42-44 ha -e been transformed into a basis of states which carry representations of the SU<3). As expected, SIK3) is a good representation for low-tying states in the nuclei with A = 18-22. It is not a good representation for the heavier nuclei, mainly because of effects due to the singk partide span-orbit spitting.
