Systematic study of proton-neutron pairing correlations in the nuclear shell model
Abstract
A shell-model study of proton-neutron pairing in 2p1f shell nuclei using a parametrized hamiltonian that includes deformation and spin-orbit effects as well as isoscalar and isovector pairing is reported. By working in a shell-model framework we are able to assess the role of the various modes of proton-neutron pairing in the presence of nuclear deformation without violating symmetries. Results are presented for 44Ti, 45Ti, 46Ti, 46V and 48Cr to assess how proton-neutron pair correlations emerge under different scenarios. We also study how the presence of a one-body spin-obit interaction affects the contribution of the various pairing modes.
