Abstract

The effects of thermal fluctuations on pairing properties of nuclei with inclusion of angular momentum have been investigated. To treat nuclei at finite temperature and angular momentum, we have extended the formalism in which the mean value of the gap parameter is used to obtain thermal properties of nuclei based on the BCS scheme [Z. Kargar and V. Dehghani, J. Phys. G, Nucl. Part. Phys. 40 (2013) 045108] let us name it MEGBCS. The results obtained for [Formula: see text] nucleus show the appearance of thermally assisted pairing correlations with increasing angular momentum. Also, the [Formula: see text]-shaped heat capacity found experimentally [K. Kaneko et al., Phys. Rev. C 74 (2006) 024325] and theoretically, interpreted as the second phase transition in mesoscopic systems, disappears with increasing angular momentum above a critical value. The nuclear level density of [Formula: see text] is calculated versus excitation energy at various values of total angular momentum. The total level density matches the experimental data closely.
