Pairing correlation may give a quenching on the halo effect. On the contrary, more states around the Fermi sursface will be weakly-bound states due to the pairing.

1. We solved a simplified HFB equations in the coordinate space with the correct asymptotic boundary conditions.
WS(d5/2) 0
(a) The peak energy becomes lower and the widths gets broader while the total strength increases dramatically.
(c) The continuum 2qp excitations involving weakly bound S ½
neutrons enhances NEWSR value compared with the results of BCS.
(d) HFB rms radius is slightly smaller than BCS one .
Summary
(b) HFB continuum effect plays an important role in low-energy quadrupole excitations.
(e) The 2qp excitations without S ½ neutrons show only enhancement.
