Pairing anti-halo effect

Abstract

We discuss pairing correlations in weakly bound neutron rich nuclei, by using the coordinate-space Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov approach which allows to take properly into account the coupling to particle continuum. We show that the additional pairing binding energy acts against a development of an infinite rms radius, even in situations when an l=0 single-particle orbital becomes unbound.
