Nuclear physics

sudden irregularity in a rotational band where the moment of inertia jumps as spin rises, read as the alignment of a broken nucleon pair.

In nuclear physics, backbending refers to sudden irregularity in a rotational band where the moment of inertia jumps as spin rises, read as the alignment of a broken nucleon pair. This meaning comes from Johnson (1971) in Physics Letters B.[1]
