Summary
We have solved the Hartree-Fock equations based on the EDF including
p-n mixing
Isospin of the system is controlled by isocranking model
The p-n mixed single-reference EDF is capable of quantitatively describing
the isobaric analog states
For odd(even) A/2, odd(even)-T states can be obtained by isocranking e-e nuclei
in their ground states with time-reversal symmetry.
Remarks:
Augmented Lagrange method for constraining the isospin.
