Nuclear pairing and dynamical breakdown of Isospin symmetry
Description
Viewed from the perspective of dynamical breakdown of isospin symmetry, the scale and nucleon number A dependence of the valence pairing energy gap Δ are approximately predicted from the nuclear Debye energy. A Goldberger-Treiman type of relation is also obtained for nuclear pairing in analogy with QCD along with correlated bosons resembling a pion and sigma meson. Finally a critical temperature is discussed such that the BCS relation Δ/k/sub B/T/sub c/approx.1.8 holds for nuclear pairing as well as for superconductivity
