A Separable Pairing Force for Relativistic Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation

Abstract

We have introduced a separable pairing force, which was adjusted to reproduce the pairing properties of the Gogny force in nuclear matter. This separable pairing force is able to describe in relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) calculations the pairing properties in the ground state of finite nuclei on almost the same footing as the original Gogny interaction. In this work we investigate excited states using the Relativistic Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (RQRPA) with the same separable pairing force. For consistency the Goldstone modes and the convergence with various cutoff parameters in this version of RQRPA are studied. The first excited $2^{+}$ states for the chain of Sn-isotopes with Z=50 and the chain of isotones with N=82 isotones are calculated in RQRPA together with the $3^{-}$ states of Sn-isotopes. Comparing with experimental data and with the results of original Gogny force we find that this simple separable pairing interaction is very successful in depicting the pairing properties of vibrational excitations.
