Neutron gas and pairing
arXiv:1901.05197 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.99.034302
Abstract
We study the emergence of neutron gas effects in the description of nuclei with large neutron excess within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approach. We consider Ni and Sn isotopes where, in the literature, these effects have been found. We investigate the role of the single particle states with positive energy generating the neutron gas, and we find that the contribution of these states is numerically irrelevant for the various observables that we evaluate.
