A213362 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.

2, 4, 2, 6, 2, 4, 8, 4, 6, 2, 10, 6, 8, 2, 4, 12, 8, 4, 14, 10, 2, 6, 10, 12, 16, 6, 2, 8, 4

First differs from A212122 at a(12).

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), 2d_(5/2), etc. (see link section). The numerators of the fractions are 1, 3, 1, 5, 1, 3, 7, 3, 5, 1, 9, 5,... then we add 1 to every numerator, so we have this sequence: 2, 4, 2, 6, 2, 4, 8, 4, 6, 2, 10, 6,... Note that in the Talmi's table there is a typo: instead 2f_(1/2) should be 2f_(7/2), see references, page 6. Other sequences that arise from this sequence are A213361, A213363, A213364. - Omar E.
