Abstract：Nuclear force and model are essential to understand the complicated quantum many-body systems, atomic nuclei. In recent years, many observations have been on nuclei far from the stability line, including the discovery of new nuclides and isomeric states, energy levels, electromagnetic properties, and α and β decays. To understand the underlying physics, it is worth comparing these properties between observations and calculations within one model and one nuclear force. In this talk, I will introduce the configuration-interaction shell model (CISM) and its applications from light to heavy nuclei. For example, the discovery of new nuclides, 223Np, 214U, 207Th, and 18Mg, will be introduced with their impact on understanding nuclear structure. Isomeric states of Ag, In isotopes, and N = 127 isotones are analyzed through nuclear interaction, especially its tensor part and contribution to the type I and II shell evolution. Cross-shell excitation in light nuclei shows the possible difference between the diagonal and off-diagonal parts of the cross-shell interaction. Isospin symmetry breaking is discussed in sd shell nuclei indicating the largest mirror asymmetry and strongest isospin mixing in β decays. Finally, based on uncertainty analysis of phenomenological models, preliminary results are presented on the CISM uncertainty using a unified nuclear force with different strengths in proton-proton and neutron-neutron interactions.
