Exact solution of the spin-isospin proton-neutron pairing Hamiltonian

The exact solution of proton-neutron isoscalar-isovector (T=0,1) pairing Hamiltonian with non-degenerate single-particle orbits and equal pairing strengths (g_{T=1}= g_{T=0}) is presented for the first time. The Hamiltonian is a particular case of a family of integrable SO(8) Richardson-Gaudin (RG) models. The exact solution of the T=0,1 pairing Hamiltonian is reduced to a problem of 4 sets of coupled non linear equations that determine the spectral parameters of the complete set of eigenstates. The microscopic structure of individual eigenstates is analyzed in terms of evolution of the spectral parameters in the complex plane for system of A=80 nucleons. The spectroscopic trends of the exact solutions are discussed in terms of generalized rotations in isospace.
