Effects of pairing correlations on the neutron skin thickness and the symmetry energy

Abstract

We investigated effects of pairing correlations on the neutron skin thickness and the symmetry energy of finite nuclei. In this calculation we used Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) method with Skyrme forces and effective pairing interactions. The results have been compared with available experimental data, Hartree-Fock (HF) results as well as the predictions by droplet model (DM). Finally, our discussion was extended to study of the pairing interaction in nuclear matter. Roles of isospin T = 0 pairing in the nuclear matter were also discussed.
