n-p pairing in N=Z nuclei
W. SatułaUniversity of Warsaw
reality or fiction?
Motivation & fingerprints (basic concepts):
cranking in isospace - response of t=0 pairing against rotations in isospace
elementary isobaric exciatations in N~Z nuclei – a need for isosopin symmetry restoration
the Wigner energy and the generalizedblocking phenomenon
symmetric nuclear matter calculations binding energies - mean-field crisis around N~Z line
high-spin signatures of pn-pairing
Structure of nucleonic pairs N=Z nucleons start to occupy „identical” spatial
orbitals Nuclear interaction favoures L=0 coupling Pair-structure is governed by the Pauli principle:
– Isovector (or 1S0) pairs T=1, S=0
- Isoscalar (deuteron-like or 3S1) pairs T=0, S=1

(3) 73Kr – manifestation of (dynamical) T=0 pairing?
SUMMARYPart of T=0 correlations in N~Z nuclei is definitelybeyond standard formulation of mean-field(Wigner energy)
Adding T=0 pairing helps but cannot solve the problem of the Wigner energy (symmetry energy) in N~Z nuclei which seems to be beyond mean-field There is no convincing arguments for coherency of the T=0 phaseTheoretical treatment of T=1 states in e-e nuclei and T=0 states o-o nuclei requires angular momentum and isospin projections
Independent least-square fits of: the Wigner energy strength: aw|N-Z|/Aa
the symmetry energy strength: as(N-Z)2/Aa

Fit includes N~Z nuclei with:very consistent with: Janecke, Nucl. Phys. (1965) 97
