In many shell model interactions, the tensor force monopole matrix elements often retain systematic trends originating in the bare tensor force. However, in this work, we find that Isospin [Formula: see text] tensor force monopole matrix elements of widely used p-shell effective interaction CK(8–16) do not share these systematic. We correct these discrepancies by modifying [Formula: see text] tensor force two-body matrix elements (TBMEs) of CK(8–16) by the analytically calculated tensor force TBMEs. With some additional modification of single-particle energies and TBMEs, the revised effective interaction is named as CKN. The effective interaction CKN has been tested for the calculations of p-shell nuclei of normal parity states from various physics viewpoints such as excitation spectra, electromagnetic moments, and electromagnetic and Gamow–Teller (GT) transitions. The obtained results are found to be satisfactory with respect to the experimental results.
