Abstract

Excitation energies of the T=1 states in even-even as well as T=0 and T=1 states in odd-odd N=Z nuclei are calculated within the mean-field approach. It is shown that the underlying structure of these states can be determined in a consistent manner only when both isoscalar and isovector pairing collectivity as well as isospin projection, treated within the iso-cranking approximation, are taken into account. In particular, in odd-odd N=Z nuclei, the interplay between quasiparticle excitations (relevant for the case of T=0 states) and iso-rotations (relevant for the case of T=1 states) explains the near-degeneracy of these fundamental excitations.
