Interplay of pairing and multipole interactions in a simple model
The interplay of pairing and other interactions is addressed in this work
using a simple single-j model. We show that enhancements in pairing
correlations observed through studies of the spectra of deformed systems,
moments of inertia, changes in transitional multipole amplitudes, and direct
calculations of the pairing component in the wave function, indicate that even
without explicit matrix elements responsible for pairing, a paired state can
still appear from the kinematic coupling of pairing to deformation and from
other geometrical restrictions that are of extreme importance in mesoscopic
systems. Furthermore, we demonstrate that macroscopic transitions such as
oblate to prolate shape changes can lead to strong dynamic enhancements of
pairing correlations. In this work we emphasize that the pairing condensate has
an important dynamic and kinematic effect on other residual interactions.Comment: 39 pages, 8 figure
The PHENIX Experiment at RHIC
The physics emphases of the PHENIX collaboration and the design and current
status of the PHENIX detector are discussed. The plan of the collaboration for
making the most effective use of the available luminosity in the first years of
RHIC operation is also presented.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. Further details of the PHENIX physics program
