Proton–neutron pairing in N=Z nuclei: Quartetting versus pair condensation

The isoscalar proton–neutron pairing and isovector pairing, including both isovector proton–neutron pairing and like-particle pairing, are treated in a formalism which conserves exactly the particle number and the isospin. The formalism is designed for self-conjugate (N=Z) systems of nucleons moving...
