Abstract
Calculations of the transition strength of C16 and study the structure of nuclei near C16 in order to understand the degrees of freedom involved in the low-lying states of these nuclei. The main emphasis, in addition to the structure of C16 and the above transition, is to study the energy spectra for C14, C15, C16 and B15. I will do shell-model calculations using existing codes for shell-model and effective
interaction calculations developed in Oslo. All code is available at http://www.fys.uio.no/compphys.
