Mass differences and neutron pairing in Ca, Sn and Pb isotopes
arXiv:1705.08329 · doi:10.1088/1674-1137/41/9/094101
Abstract
Various estimates of the even-odd effect of the mass shell of atomic nuclei are considered. Based on the experimental mass values of the Ca, Sn, and Pb isotopes, the dependence of the energy gap on the neutrons number is traced and the relationship of this characteristic to the properties of external neutron subshells is shown. In nuclei with closed proton shells, effects directly related to neutron pairing and effects of nucleon shells are discussed.
