In a mean-field description of superfluidity, particle number and gauge angle are treated as quasi-classical conjugated variables. This level of description was recently used to describe nuclear reactions around the Coulomb barrier.…
Nuclear pairing gaps of normally deformed and superdeformed nuclei are investigated using the particle-number conserving (PNC) formalism for the cranked shell model, in which the blocking effects are treated exactly. Both rotational…
A proper treatment of the resonant continuum is to take account of not only the energy of the resonant state, but also its width. The effect of the resonant states on pairing correlations is presented based on the relativistic mean field…
We determine the influence of the three-body force and the medium modification of meson masses on pairing in nuclear and neutron matter. A reduction of the pairing gap is found and increasing with density.
In a recent paper we studied the behavior of the pairing gaps $\Delta_F$ as a function of the Fermi momentum $k_F$ for neutron and nuclear matter in all relevant angular momentum channels where superfluidity is believed to naturally emerge.…

Multi-strange Ca, Sn and Pb hypernuclei with $\Lambda\Lambda$ pairing interaction are investigated within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach. The unknown $\Lambda\Lambda$ pairing strength is calibrated to match with the maximal value for…
Low-lying nuclear states of Sm isotopes are studied in the framework of a collective Hamiltonian based on covariant energy density functional theory. Pairing correlation are treated by both BCS and Bogoliubov methods. It is found that the…
We propose a modified pairing functional for nuclear structure calculations which avoids the abrupt phase transition between pairing and non-pairing states. The intended application is the description of nuclear collective motion where the…
This study presents a systematic investigation of the effects of isospin, including both T=0 and T=/0 components, on nucleon pairing correlations in fp-shell nuclei. To this aim, the interacting boson model-4, which explicitly incorporates…

Effects of medium polarization are studied for $^1S_0$ pairing in neutron and nuclear matter. The screening potential is calculated in the RPA limit, suitably renormalized to cure the low density mechanical instability of nuclear matter.…

Starting from the linearized BdG-equation we make the simple observation that pairing can occur between particles with total momenta different from zero, e.g., with equal momentum and opposite spin, in cases of an effective interaction…
