Bmdang and excitation energies, electromagnetic transition rates and mult~pole moments have been calculated for 57-66N1 from many-particle shell-model wave functions with neutrons m the 2p@, lf~ and 2p½ orbits outside the S6N1 core The effective two-body matrix elements are obtmned from the modrfied surface deltainteraction The average absolute dewatmn between the calculated and experimental binding and excltatmn energies is 0.11 MeV (with the exclusion of 66NI) Electric quadrupole transmon rates and moments are calculated w~th an effective neutron charge e~ = (1 70-t-0 08)e, obtaaned from a least-squares fit to experimental data Magnetic &pole transltmn rates and moments follow from five fitted effective reduced smgleparhcle matrix elements. The average absolute dewatmns between theory and experiment for the strongest E2 transitmns (1-15 W u ) and for the strongest M1 transitions (0.01-0 14 W.u.) are 3 5 and 0 03 W u, whde the average measured strengths are 7 0 and 0.07 W u, respectively
