HFB calculations with a microscopic pairing interaction

Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov (HFB) calculations making use of a recently proposed microscopic effective pairing interaction are presented. The interaction was shown to reproduce the pairing properties provided by the realistic $AV18$ force very accurately in infinite matter. Although finite-ranged and non-local, it makes 3D HFB calculations in coordinate space tractable. As a first application, basic pairing properties of calcium isotopes in their ground-state are studied. By comparing the results with those obtained using a standard Density-Dependent Delta Interaction, the crucial isovector character of the microscopic interaction is highlighted.
