Effects of resonant single-particle states on pairing correlations

Effects of resonant single-particle (s.p.) states on the pairing correlations are investigated by an exact treatment of the pairing Hamiltonian on the Gamow shell model basis. We introduce the s.p. states with complex energies into the Richardson equations. The solution shows the property that the resonant s.p. states with large widths are less occupied. The importance of many-body correlations between bound and resonant prticle pairs is shown.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
