1. INTRODUCTION The shell model is a recognized tool for microscopic studies of nuclear structure. The no-core shell model (NCSM) [1–3], the version of the shell model where all A nucleons are spectroscopically active, is widely used now (see, e.g., [3–6]) for ab initio calculations of light nuclei (up through A = 16) with modern realistic nucleon–nucleon and three-nucleon forces. The NCSM utilizes the basis of Slater determinants of single-particle oscillator states. These basis functions are known to have spurious contributions of center-of-mass (CM) excitations.
