Abstract
Neutron-rich isotopes in the space with require modifications to derived effective interactions to agree with experimental data away from stability. A quantitative justification is given for these modifications because of the weakly bound nature of model space orbits via a procedure using realistic radial wave functions and realistic interactions. The long tail of the radial wave function for loosely bound single-particle orbits causes a reduction in the size of matrix elements involving those orbits, most notably for pairing matrix elements, resulting in a more condensed level spacing in shell-model calculations. Example calculations are shown for and .
