Isovector pairing effect on the moments of inertia of proton-rich heated nuclei

Year: 2012
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The perpendicular and parallel moments of inertia are calculated as a function of the temperature by taking into account the isovector pairing. The used single-particles energies are those of a deformed Woods-Saxon mean-field. The obtained results are compared to their homologues of the conventional Finite Temperature BCS (FTBCS) theory. With this aim, the generalized gap equations have been solved for even-even heated deformed nuclei such as Z = 30 – 38 and N – Z = 0, 2, 4. The isovector pairing effect leads to a change in the behavior of the perpendicular and parallel moments of inertia. Moreover, there is a non-negligible discrepancy between the perpendicular and parallel moments of inertia values calculated within the two models when T < T cnp ( T cnp being the critical temperature beyond which the neutron-proton (np) gap parameter vanishes). Beyond this temperature, a discrepancy between the two models persists. It is due to the shift of the critical temperatures of the proton ( T cpp ) and neutron ( T cnn ) systems when evaluated with and without inclusion of the isovector pairing effect.
