Monopole Shift in Odd Neutron-Rich F Isotopes: A Shell Model Description

Monopole shift in the proton states in odd neutron rich F isotopes has been studied with neutron number changing from N = 10 to 20 for three different interactions. The variation of monopole shift point out towards appearance of shell closure at N = 14 and N = 16 and its disappearance at N = 20. Low lying states of odd F isotopes have also been calculated in the limited configuration space of {\it sd} shells for these interactions.
