Pairing correction of particle-hole state densities for two kinds of Fermions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5735517
Pairing corrections in particle-hole (exciton) state-density formulas used in precompound nuclear reaction theories are, strictly speaking, dependent on the nuclear excitation energy U and the exciton number n. A general formula for (U,n)-dependent pairing corrections has been derived in an earlier paper for exciton state-density formulas for one kind of Fermion. In the present paper, a similar derivation is made for two kinds of Fermions. It is shown that the constant-pairing-energy correction used in standard level-density formulas, such as U/sub 0/ in Gilbert and Cameron, is a limiting case of the present general (U,n)-dependent results.
