Pairing effects at finite temperature: Fermionic and bosonic contributions to the specific heat of a nucleus

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

The behavior of the specific heat, for a system with a finite number of nucleons interacting through a pairing force, is studied. The formalism is based on the finite temperature Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer plus random phase approximation treatment of the interaction. The fermionic and bosonic excitations are described, as a function of the temperature, both in the superfluid and normal phases.
