Abstract
Background: Following the 2007 precise measurements of monopole strengths in tin isotopes, there has been a continuous theoretical effort to obtain a precise description of the experimental results. Up to now, there is no satisfactory explanation of why the tin nuclei appear to be significantly softer than Pb-208. Purpose: We determine the influence of finite-range and separable pairing interactions on monopole strength functions in semimagic nuclei. Methods: We employ self-consistently the quasiparticle random phase approximation on top of spherical Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov solutions. We use the Arnoldi method to solve the linear-response problem with pairing. Results: We found that the difference between centroids of giant monopole... (More)

Methods: We employ self-consistently the quasiparticle random phase approximation on top of spherical Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov solutions. We use the Arnoldi method to solve the linear-response problem with pairing. Results: We found that the difference between centroids of giant monopole resonances measured in lead and tin (about 1 MeV) always turns out to be overestimated by about 100%. We also found that the volume incompressibility, obtained by adjusting the liquid-drop expression to microscopic results, is significantly larger than the infinite-matter incompressibility. Conclusions: The zero-range and separable pairing forces cannot induce modifications of monopole strength functions in tin to match experimental data. (Less)
