Cooper pairs in atomic nuclei

We consider the development of Cooper pairs in a self-consistent Hartree-Fock mean field for the even Sm isotopes. Results are presented at the level of a BCS treatment, a number-projected BCS treatment and an exact treatment using the Richardson ansatz. For a fixed value of the pairing strength, pr...
