HFB calculations with a microscopic pairing interaction

Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) calculations making use of a recently proposed microscopic effective pairing interaction are presented. The interaction was shown to reproduce the pairing properties provided by the realistic AV 18 force very accurately in infinite matter. Although finite-ranged and non-local, it makes 3D HFB calculations in coordinate space tractable. As a first application, basic pairing properties of calcium isotopes in their ground-state are studied. By comparing the results with those obtained using a standard Density-Dependent Delta Interaction, the crucial isovector character of the microscopic interaction is highlighted.
