Abstract
The usual Strutinsky shell corrections include the pairing correlations in the BCS approach. At high-spin states the cranked intrinsic wave functions are not symmetric or antisymmetric under time reversal symmetry for general triaxial shapes. On the basis of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) approach two generalizations of the Strutinsky procedure are given to describe pairing correlations also for high-spin states and triaxial shapes. The method is applied to the neutron-deficient rare earth nucleus 150Gd. It is found that pairing has an important effect on the change of nuclear deformation with increasing angular momentum. The proton pairing persists at least up to I ≈ 40.
