Can I read $N pN n$ scheme and the valence proton-neutron interaction on EtoBox?

$N pN n$ scheme and the valence proton-neutron interaction by Byun, Youngshin; Jin, Guanghao; Yoon, Jin-Hee; Cha, Dongwoo is a scholarly article available to read on EtoBox.

What is $N pN n$ scheme and the valence proton-neutron interaction about?

We examine the common belief that the $N_pN_n$ scheme is manifested as a direct consequence of the valence proton-neutron interaction which has proven to be a dominant factor in developing collectivity in nuclei. We show that the simplification of the $N_pN_n$-plot of the lowest $2^+$ excitation energy is introduced merely because the excitation energy always decreases when the valence nucleon number becomes larger.
