These figures show the dimensions of M-scheme shell model calculations in various valence spaces. Dimensions were computed with the BIGSTICK shell model code. Figures were generated with a Python script that writes gnuplot code. In spaces with both parities, dimenions include both.

Gaps in the chart indicate magic numbers according to the conventional shell model:
The edges of the chart are given by the intersection of the model space (a rectangular region) and the drip line according to the NNDC. The squares with a thicker border are the stable isotopes.
