$ T=1 $ Pairing Along the $ N=Z $ Line

TL;DR

This paper investigates neutron pairing energies in even-even nuclei along the N=Z line, highlighting how orbital occupancy influences pairing and how specific orbitals affect properties in the Z=60-100 region.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of pairing energies along the N=Z line and links these properties to valence shell orbital configurations, especially the 0g_{9/2} orbital.

Findings

Pairing energies vary with orbital occupancy.

The Z dependence is influenced by the number and type of valence orbitals.

Properties in Z=60-100 are affected by the 0g_{9/2} orbital.

Abstract

Pairing energies for the addition of two neutrons on even-even nuclei with $ N=Z $ are studied. The $ Z $ dependence is attributed to the number and type of orbitals that are occupied in the valence shell-model space. Properties in the region from $ Z=60-100 $ depend on the location of the $ 0g_{9/2} $ orbital.
