Strong correlations of the Garvey-Kelson mass relations

ATOMIC MASSES N=40-160; analyzed odd-even staggering with respect to experimental data from AME-2012; deduced strong correlations in Garvey-Kelson mass relations originating from statistical odd-even feature of the interaction between the last proton and the last neutron in atomic nuclei.
