You have misunderstood completely. The level scheme on the left is what you would expect without a spin-orbit potential. The level scheme on the right is what you get with a spin-orbit potential. It was the work of Mayer and Jensen (and coworkers) that showed that the spin-orbit potential allowed a correct matching of observed and theoretical magic numbers. This is precisely what they won the Nobel prize for.
No, actualy you are tying to fool everbody in here.
What you say is just as it's written bellow the graphic in Eisberg-Resnick book.
What I said in my previous post is NOT regarding to the left side of the graphic, as you smartly are suggesting that should be my interpretation.
What I said is concerning the right side, just where it's considered the interaction WITH a spin-orbit potential.
As it can be seen easily, the Mayer-Jensen theory is disagree to the RIGHT side of the graphic (with spin-orbit potential) for the nuclei 20Ca and 8O.
They could not be magic numbers.
Instead of, 14Si and 6C would have to be, according to the Mayer-Jensen theory.
Tubbythin, stop trying to fool us.
