Title: Pairing in nuclei

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7243914· OSTI ID:7243914

New expressions for the nuclear neutron and proton average pairing gaps have been derived. In addition, a new expression for the average residual n-p interaction energy appearing in the masses of odd-odd nuclei has been introduced. For protons the new model for the average pairing gap agrees better with the data than the old model. For neutrons there is no major difference between the models for the average pairing gap, but far from stability there would be larger differences. 3 refs., 6 figs. (DWL)
