The FBCS model and the inverse gap equations applied to the tin isotopes

The FBCS model for odd nuclei and the inverse gap equations are applied to a whole sequence of tin isotopes,viz.^111–125Sn. From spectroscopic data on the odd isotopes, the single-particle energies and interaction strengths are obtained. With these parameters the lowest states of the even isotopes are calculated by a number-projected two-quasiparticle diagonalization and by the usual BCS one. This is done with two Gaussian interactions and the SDI. In the case of the Gaussian forces the experimental energies are well reproduced by the number-projected treatment. Effective charges for Eλ transitions, which are required to reproduce the experimental transition rates, are rather constant for the whole series of isotopes, in case of the number-projected treatment. In addition a number of spectroscopic factors for one-nucleon transfer reactions are calculated and good agreement with experiments is observed.
