dc.descriptionWe perform large shell model calculations for Calcium isotopes in the full fp shell by using the realistic Kuo-Brown interaction. The Calcium isotopes are especially interesting because the nearest-neighbour spacing distribution P(s) of low-lying energy levels shows significant deviations from the predictions of the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble of random--matrix theory. This contrasts with other neighbouring nuclei which show fully chaotic spectral distributions. We study the chaotic behaviour as a function of the excitation energy. In addition, a clear signature of chaos suppression is obtained when the single-particle spacings are increased. In our opinion the relatively weak strength of the neutron-neutron interaction is unable to destroy the regular single-particle mean-field motion completely. In the neighbouring nuclei with both protons and neutrons in valence orbits, on the other hand, the stronger proton-neutron interaction would appear to be sufficient to destroy the regular mean-field motion.
