Jahn—A program for representing atomic and nuclear states within an isospin basis

Abstract

A computer program is presented to deal with atomic and nuclear state functions within an isospin-coupled basis. Apart from the classification of the isospin bases states, the program JAHN supports the computation of the corresponding coefficients of fractional parentage as well as of the transformation matrices going from a LS-coupled to an isospin-coupled basis. In the future, these features may facilitate the treatment of atomic systems in order to obtain a deeper insight into the coupling of open-shell atoms and ions. The JAHN program has been designed for interactive work and is distributed as a MAPLE module.
