Abstract: (Elsevier)
Coulomb displacement energies are calculated in terms of first-order perturbation theory and the results are compared with the experimental data. In the model the Coulomb displacement energy is described as a sum of single-particle Coulomb displacement energies, which result from changing a neutron outside a core into a proton with the same quantum numbers. In the calculations only two parameters were used, which were kept constant for A = 13–28 and A = 29–40. From a comparison between theoretical and experimental Coulomb displacement energies one finds that for about 70% of all levels the deviation between the theoretical and experimental energies is smaller than 64 keV. A relatively large deviation of 200 keV is found for the lowest J π = 0 + , T = 1 states in doubly odd self-conjugated nuclei.
