We describe a full nonspurious 4ħω shell-model calculation that successfully reproduces the low-lying spectrum of 16O, including the superdeformed 0+ (6.05 MeV) state, and discuss its connection with the coexistence model. This treatment provides a realistic microscopic framework for discussing various electroweak processes: E2 transitions in 16O, the role of exchange currents and the pseudoscalar coupling constant in the 0+0- β-decay and μ-capture transition, and the evaluation of the Gamow-Teller inclusive response function.
