Abstract

Description of static nuclear properties is one of the main aims of theoretical nuclear physics studies. This work presents the uncertainties due to pairing fit procedure for three static nuclear quantities of rare-earth nuclei, namely the nuclear charge radius, electric quadrupole moment, and the moment of inertia. The Hartree-Fock (HF)-plus-pairing approach was employed with pairing correlations treated within the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) framework. The Skyrme SIII parametrization were chosen to approximate the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction while seniority force is used for the pairing interaction. In this work, two sets of pairing strengths obtained from different fit procedures were chosen. Calculated result shows that the moment of inertia is hugely dependent on variation of pairing strengths.
