Pairing Effect on Spectral Statistics of Even and Odd Mass Nuclei

The interplay of pairing is explored for the spectral statistics of nuclear systems with emphasis on the nearest neighbor spacing distributions by employing the kernel density and maximum likelihood estimation techniques. Different sequences prepared by all the available empirical data for low-lying energy levels of even and odd-mass nuclei in the 34 < A < 206 mass region. A deviation to more regular dynamics is apparent for even-mass nuclei in compare to odd-mass ones, and there are suggestions of effects due to unclosed proton shells on more chaotic dynamics.
