isospinor isobaric spin or isotopic spinProperty characteristic of families of related subatomic particles differing mainly in the values of their electric charge. The families are known as isospin multiplets. The components of atomic nuclei, the neutron and the proton, form an isospin doublet since they differ only in electric charge and subsidiary properties. They are considered different versions of the same object, called a nucleon. The isospin of a nucleon has a value of ¹⁄₂. isospin [′ī·sə‚spin] (nuclear physics) How to thank TFD for its existence?

| ] superallowed [beta]-transitions within isospin triplets provided the relevant nuclear physics corrections may be applied with confidence [5]. He suggested an isospin source might render the results of all fifth force experiments compatible, which prompted other researchers to test the hypothesis. in Nuclear Physics from Duke University, where he conducted pioneering research in isospin conservation in nuclear reactions. |
