Recent trends in the determination of nuclear masses

D Lunney, JM Pearson, C Thibault - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2003 - APS
The mass of the nucleus, through its binding energy, continues to be of capital importance
not only for various aspects of nuclear physics, but also for other branches of physics …

Overview of neutron–proton pairing

S Frauendorf, AO Macchiavelli - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2014 - Elsevier
The role of neutron–proton pairing correlations on the structure of nuclei along the N= Z line
is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on the competition between isovector (T= 1) and …

Local density approximation for proton-neutron pairing correlations: Formalism

E Perlińska, SG Rohoziński, J Dobaczewski… - Physical Review C …, 2004 - APS
In the present study we generalize the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory
formulated in the coordinate space to the case which incorporates an arbitrary mixing …

Hartree-Fock mass formulas and extrapolation to new mass data

S Goriely, M Samyn, PH Heenen, JM Pearson… - Physical Review C, 2002 - APS
The two previously published Hartree-Fock (HF) mass formulas, HFBCS-1 and HFB-1 (HF-
Bogoliubov), are shown to be in poor agreement with new Audi-Wapstra mass data. The …

Further explorations of Skyrme–Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov mass formulas. IX: Constraint of pairing force to 1S0 neutron-matter gap

N Chamel, S Goriely, JM Pearson - Nuclear Physics A, 2008 - Elsevier
In this latest of our series of Skyrme–HFB mass models, HFB-16, we introduce the new
feature of requiring that the contact pairing force reproduce at each density the 1S0 pairing …

Further explorations of Skyrme–Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov mass formulas. IV: Neutron-matter constraint

S Goriely, M Samyn, JM Pearson, M Onsi - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
We have modified our best previous HFB mass model, HFB-8, to conform to the Friedman–
Pandharipande calculation of neutron matter, achieving this simply by requiring that it be …

Exact solution of the nuclear pairing problem

A Volya, BA Brown, V Zelevinsky - Physics Letters B, 2001 - Elsevier
In many applications to finite Fermi-systems, the pairing problem has to be treated exactly.
We suggest a numerical method of exact solution based on SU (2) quasispin algebras and …

Proton-neutron pairing in the deformed BCS approach

F Šimkovic, CC Moustakidis, L Pacearescu… - Physical Review C …, 2003 - APS
We examine isovector and isoscalar proton-neutron-pairing correlations for the ground state
of even-even Ge isotopes with mass number A= 64–76 within the deformed BCS approach …

Systematic calculation of s-wave pion and kaon self-energies in asymmetric nuclear matter

N Kaiser, W Weise - Physics Letters B, 2001 - Elsevier
We calculate the pion self-energies in asymmetric nuclear matter in the two-loop
approximation of chiral perturbation theory. We find three types of corrections beyond the …

Nuclear pairing: New perspectives

V Zelevinsky, A Volya - Physics of Atomic Nuclei, 2003 - Springer
Nuclear pairing correlations are known to play an important role in various single-particle
and collective aspects of nuclear structure. After the first idea by A. Bohr, B. Mottelson, and …
