Abstract

A method is described to construct the ground state of a general pairing Hamiltonian for a finite nuclear systemas a product of collective, real, distinct pairs. These are determined sequentially via an iterative variational procedure that resorts to diagonalizations of the Hamiltonian in restricted model spaces. Different applications of themethod are provided that include comparisonswith exact and projected BCS results. The quantities that are examined are correlation energies, occupation numbers and pair transfer matrix elements. The method is seen to work well leading, under some circumstances, to solutions that are basically exact.
