Abstract
The differences between the experimental and the theoretically calculated binding energies in Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) approach have been calculated for a large number of odd- nuclei from to 229. Neutron-proton (n-p) interaction is expected to be the major contributor to this difference. This difference, excluding certain mass regions and taking other effects as well as the odd-even mass difference into account, may be linearly parametrized by the Casten factor, a recognized measure of the n-p interaction in the nucleus. The results follow the same pattern as in the case of even- nuclei observed earlier.
