%N Triangle read by rows in which row n lists the number of states of the subshells of the n-th shell of the nuclear shell model ordered by energy level in increasing order.
%C First differs from A212122 at a(14).
%C The list of the spin-orbit coupling of this version of the nuclear shell model starts: 1s_(1/2), 1p_(3/2), 1p_(1/2), 1d_(5/2), 2s_(1/2), 1d_(3/2), 1f_(7/2), 2p_(3/2), 1f_(5/2), 2p_(1/2), 1g_(9/2), 1g_(7/2), 2d_(5/2), 1h_(11/2), etc. (see link section). The numerators of the fractions are 1, 3, 1, 5, 1, 3, 7, 3, 5, 1, 9, 7, 5, 11,... then we add 1 to every numerator, so we have this sequence: 2, 4, 2, 6, 2, 4, 8, 4, 6, 2, 10, 8, 6, 12,... Other sequences that arise from this sequence are A213371, A213373, A213374. - _Omar E. Pol_, Sep 02 2012
