The pairing correlations in hot nuclei $^{162}$Dy are investigated in terms of the thermodynamical properties by covariant density functional theory. The heat capacities $C_V$ are evaluated in the canonical ensemble theory and the paring correlations are treated by a shell-model-like approach, in which the particle number is conserved exactly. A S-shaped heat capacity curve, which agrees qualitatively with the experimental data, has been obtained and analyzed in details. It is found that the one-pair-broken states play crucial roles in the appearance of the S shape of the heat capacity curve. Moreover, due to the effect of the particle-number conservation, the pairing gap varies smoothly with the temperature, which indicates a gradual transition from the superfluid to the normal state.

Experimental nuclear level densities at excitation energies below the neutron threshold follow closely a constant-temperature shape. This dependence is unexpected and poorly understood. In this work, a fundamental explanation of the observed constant
-temperature behavior in atomic nuclei is presented for the first time. It is shown that the experimental data portray a first-order phase transition from a superfluid to an ideal gas of non-interacting quasiparticles. Even-even, odd-$A$, and odd-odd level densities show in detail the behavior of gap- and gapless superconductors also observed in solid-state physics. These results and analysis should find a direct application to mesoscopic systems such as superconducting clusters.
The empirical heat capacities of $^{93-98}$Mo nuclei are re-investigated by using the latest updated and recommended nuclear level density (NLD) data below the neutron binding energy $B_n$ combined with the back-shifted Fermi-gas (BSFG) model for the
energy region above $B_n$. For the latter, the BSFG formula with energy-dependent level density parameter is used and the new parameterization has been carried out in order to obtain the best fit to the new NLD data in the whole data range. The results obtained show that the S-shaped heat capacity, a fingerprint of the pairing phase transition, is more pronounced in even $^{94,96,98}$Mo nuclei than that in odd $^{93,95,97}$Mo isotopes. This result is different with those obtained in two previous studies by R. Chankova et al., [Phys. Rev. C {bf 73}, 034311 (2006)] and K. Kaneko et al., [Phys. Rev. C {bf 74}, 024325 (2006)], in which the old NLD data and the BSFG model with energy-independent level density parameter were used. Moreover, the present work suggests that the very strong S-shape observed in the heat capacities of both even and odd Molybdenum isotopes by K. Kaneko et al., [Phys. Rev. C {bf 74}, 024325 (2006)] should be re-investigated. The present work also suggests that obtain the correct heat capacity and associated pairing phase transition in excited nuclei, one should use the correct NLD data and the best fitted BSFG NLD in the entire region where the experimental data are available.
We present a new analysis of the pairing vibrations around 56Ni, with emphasis on odd-odd nuclei. This analysis of the experimental excitation energies is based on the subtraction of average properties that include the full symmetry energy together w
ith volume, surface and Coulomb terms. The results clearly indicate a collective behavior of the isovector pairing vibrations and do not support any appreciable collectivity in the isoscalar channel.
The binding energies of even-even and odd-odd N=Z nuclei are compared. After correcting for the symmetry energy we find that the lowest T=1 state in odd-odd N=Z nuclei is as bound as the ground state in the neighboring even-even nucleus, thus providi
ng evidence for isovector np pairing. However, T=0 states in odd-odd N=Z nuclei are several MeV less bound than the even-even ground states. We associate this difference with a pair gap and conclude that there is no evidence for an isoscalar pairing condensate in N=Z nuclei.
In addition to shape oscillations, low-energy excitation spectra of deformed nuclei are also influenced by pairing vibrations. The simultaneous description of these collective modes and their coupling has been a long-standing problem in nuclear struc
ture theory. Here we address the problem in terms of self-consistent mean-field calculations of collective deformation energy surfaces, and the framework of the interacting boson approximation. In addition to quadrupole shape vibrations and rotations, the explicit coupling to pairing vibrations is taken into account by a boson-number non-conserving Hamiltonian, specified by a choice of a universal density functional and pairing interaction. An illustrative calculation for $^{128}$Xe and $^{130}$Xe shows the importance of dynamical pairing degrees of freedom, especially for structures built on low-energy $0^+$ excited states, in $gamma$-soft and triaxial nuclei.
