Pairing correlations. Part 2: Microscopic analysis of odd-even mass staggering in nuclei

Abstract

The odd-even mass staggering in nuclei is analyzed in the context of self-consistent mean-field calculations, for spherical as well as for deformed nuclei. For these nuclei, the respective merits of the energy differences ${\Delta }^{(3)}$ and ${\Delta }^{(5)}$ to extract both the pairing gap and the time-reversal symmetry breaking effect at the same time are extensively discussed. The usual mass formula ${\Delta }^{(3)}$, is shown to contain additional mean-field contributions when realistic pairing is used in the calculation. A simple tool is proposed in order to remove time-reversal symmetry breaking effects from ${\Delta }^{(5)}$. Extended comparisons with the odd-even mass staggering obtained in the zero pairing limit (schematic model and self-consistent calculations) show the non-perturbative contribution of pairing correlations on this observable.
