Abstract
The differences between the experimental and Relativistic Mean Field binding energies have been calculated for a large number of even-even nuclei from A=50 to 220. Excluding certain mass regions, the differences, after suitable corrections for particular isotope chains, are found to be proportional to the Casten factor , chosen as a measure of n-p interaction strength in a nucleus. Results for even- odd- nuclei are also seen to follow the same relation, if the odd-even mass difference is taken into account following the semiempirical formula. This indicates that the n-p interaction is the major contributor to the difference between the calculated and the experimental binding energies.
