The (2j-1) rule with other interactions

Abstract

We recently formulated a rule for isomeric states for a system of 4 nucleons with isospin T=1, namely that if the nucleons are in a single j shell then states with angular momenta J=2 and J=(2j-1) are either isomeric or ground states [ze12]. To show that this is a robust result, we here consider a new interaction from the literature that was used to discuss even-even and odd-even nuclei. We here apply it to an odd-odd nucleus.
