Extending pairing energy density functional using pairing rotational moments of inertia.
The pairing energy density functionals (EDFs) that include the spatial derivative and kinetic terms of the pair densities are discussed. The coupling constants of the pairing EDF are adjusted to reproduce the experimental pairing rotational moment of inertia, and the pair-density derivative terms are shown to systematically improve the values of the pairing rotational moments of inertia in Sn and Pb isotopes. It is pointed out that the conventional average pairing gaps overestimate the experimental odd-even mass staggering in the presence of the pair-density derivative terms.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
