A possible relation between the spin of hadrons and their isospin, strangeness and charm

A possible relation between the spin of hadrons and their isospin, strangeness and charm is given: J = I - 1 + n + 1/2 [S + C], where n is an integer. Tables are presented to show that the relation is perfectly obeyed by the hadrons (including the quarks) through the charmed particles, and with a trivial modification it can include the b and t states. The relation is put in an operator form whose projection on the 3-axis of isospace is shown to be consistent with the Gell-Mann and Nishijima relation generalized to include charm. (author)
