TL;DR
This paper reviews fundamental nuclear pairing phenomena, focusing on odd-even mass differences, excitation spectra, and dynamical effects like nuclear rotation and shape deformation.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear pairing phenomena, emphasizing their dynamical effects and differences across various nuclear states.
Findings
Odd-even mass differences are a key signature of pairing.
Pairing influences excitation spectra distinctly in even-even and odd-A nuclei.
Dynamical effects of pairing affect nuclear rotation and shape deformation.
Abstract
I review the phenomena associated with pairing in nuclear physics, most prominently the ubiquitous presence of odd-even mass differences and the properties of the excitation spectra, very different for even-even and odd-A nuclei. There are also significant dynamical effects of pairing, visible in the inertias associated with nuclear rotation and large-amplitude shape deformation.
