A Number-Conserving Theory for Nuclear Pairing

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

A microscopic theory for nuclear pairing is proposed through the generalized density matrix formalism. The analytical equations are as simple as that of the BCS theory, and could be solved within a similar computer time. The current theory conserves the exact particle number, and is valid at arbitrary pairing strength (including those below the BCS critical strength). These are the two main advantages over the conventional BCS theory. The theory is also of interests to other mesoscopic systems.
