ov 2 00 8 Shell gaps and pn pairing interaction in N = Z nuclei
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the observed shell gaps in N = Z nuclei determined from the binding energy differences. It is found that the shell gaps can be described by the combined contributions from the single-particle level spacing, the like-nucleon pairing, and the proton-neutron pairing interaction. This conclusion is consistent with that of Chasman in Phys. Rev. Lett. 99 (2007) 082501. For the double-closed shell N = Z nuclei, the single-particle level spacings calculated with Woods-Saxon potential are very close to those obtained by subtracting the nn pairing interaction from the observed shell gap. For the sub-closed or non-closed shell N = Z nuclei, the pn pairing interaction is shown to be important for the observed shell gaps.

We explore, within the framework of an algebraic sp(4) shell model, discrete approximations to various derivatives of the energies of the lowest isovector-paired 0 states of atomic nuclei in the 40 ≤ A ≤ 100 mass range. The results show that the symplectic model can be used to successfully interpret fine structure effects driven by the proton-neutron (pn) and like-particle isovector pairing int...

Microscopic analysis of T = 1 and T = 0 proton-neutron correlations in N = Z nuclei Abstract The competition between the isovector (T = 1) and isoscalar (T = 0) proton-neutron (p − n) correlations in N = Z nuclei is investigated by calculating their correlation energies with a realistic effective interaction which reproduces observed nuclear properties very well, in a strict shell model treatme...

A set of moderately deformed s − d shell nuclei is employed for testing the reliability of the nuclear ground state wave functions which are obtained in the context of a BCS approach and offer a simultaneous consideration of deformation and pairing correlations effects. In this method, the mean field is assumed to be an axially symmetric WoodsSaxon potential and the effective two-body interacti...
متن کاملMagic numbers in the neutron-rich oxygen isotopes
In this article we report on the theoretical implications for new magic nuclei that have recently been discovered in the neutron-rich oxygen isotopes (Z = 8) out to the neutron drip line at neutron number N = 16. The single-particle shell structure of nuclei provides the bridge for understanding the rich features of these mesoscopic systems in terms of the interactions between nucleons. On one ...
متن کاملSuperheavy nuclei in relativistic effective Lagrangian model
Isotopic and isotonic chains of superheavy nuclei are analyzed to search for spherical double shell closures beyond Z = 82 and N = 126 within the new effective field theory model of Furnstahl, Serot, and Tang for the relativistic nuclear many-body problem. We take into account several indicators to identify the occurrence of possible shell closures, such as two-nucleon separation energies, two-...
