LAMBDA PARTICLE. A hyperon with a rest-mass energy of 1115.6 McV. an isospin quantum number zero, an angular momentum spin quantum number j. and a strangeness quantum number I. Symbol. K. 

Let us take a closer look at the concept of isospin referring to two shells of equivalent electrons with the same orbital quantum numbers. Our reasoning will partially follow the work [123]. 

It follows from the general behaviour of isospin basis that the isospin quantum number will be good if an electron belonging to one shell interacts with another electron belonging to the same shell in exactly the same way as with an electron in another shell. In so doing, we should include only the part of electron-electron interaction that depends on the term. This is described by (k > 0)... 

When the isospin quantum number is good , the states characterized by a larger value of the isospin T have a higher energy, which is mainly conditioned by the presence of the rotational term T(T + l)Go(nil,n2l) in diagonal (in isospin basis) matrix elements of the electrostatic energy operator. 

The use of isospin basis allows one to widen the domain of applicability of the Brillouin theorem for excited states. In this approach it is also possible to account for part of the correlation effects. There are cases (e.g., configurations of the type niln2lNl,nil4l+1n2lN2 (n2 = m + 1) of multiply charged ions) where the isospin quantum number is fairly exact [31, 32]. 

The lifetime t of A2v with the principal quantum number n and l = 0, is determined by the charge-exchange process 7r+7r- —> ir°n° and, at the leading order of isospin breaking, may be described through the 5-wave irir scattering lengths ap and a2 with isospin values 0 and 2 [13,14] ... 

For A k with principal quantum number n and orbital angular momentum 1 = 0, the probability for this transition at leading order of isospin breaking is given by the expression [14] ... 

The number of nucleons is denoted by the mass number, A. By analogy to freeon dynamics, the isofreeon states are labeled by Young diagrams with no more than two columns, Li S L2 0 The mass number and the isospin quantum number are then... 

The nuclear fermion orbital is product of a spatial (superfreeon) orbital, an ordinary spin (ordspin) orbital and an isospin orbital (which determine the atomic number). In isofreeon dynamics the quantum number, J replaces the ordinary freeon quantum number, L. 

The calculations of these integrals show that there are notable cases for n ln2lNl configurations at n2 = + 1 where the isospin quantum number...
