What is an isoscalar nucleus?
I guess it should be a nucleus with isospin T=0.
In the place where I encountered it, it seems to refer to a nucleus with equal number of neutrons and protons. An isoscalar target should necessarily have equal number of neutrons and protons. But as far as I can see, equal number of neutrons and protons does not mean an isoscalar target.
Is that right, or am I missing something?
