Formation of superconducting pair correlations in spherical even-even nuclei

Nuclear Theory 2024-05-17 v1 Superconductivity

Abstract

The appearance of like nucleon pair correlations in the ground state of spherical even-even nuclei is considered within a special Bogoliubov transformation. It is confirmed that in closed subshell nuclei superconducting pair correlations start to form if the coupling constant GG exceeds a certain threshold value. Rough upper and lower estimates are obtained for the threshold value. It is shown, that superconducting correlations exist in open subshell nuclei at any positive GG. In this case, nucleon pairs are distributed over all subshells participating in the pairing interaction.
