Cooper pairs and pairing correlations from the exact solution in BCS- BEC crossover (2005) and in atomic nuclei (2007). Generalized Richardson-Gaudin Models for r>1 ( ). Exact solution of the T=0,1 p-n pairing model.

8 Richardson equations M M g + 2g = 0, E = E 2ε E E E Properties: ( ) k = 0 k α β α = 1 α β α= 1 This is a set of M nonlinear coupled equations with M unknowns (E α ). The first and second terms correspond to the equations for the one pair system. The third term contains the many body correlations and the exchange symmetry. The pair energies are either real or complex conjugated pairs. There are as many independent solutions as states in the Hilbert space. The solutions can be classified in the weak coupling limit (g 0). α
9 What is an exactly solvable model?.- A model is exactly solvable if we can write explicit expressions for the complete set of eigenstates in terms of a set of parameters, which are in turn solutions of an algebraic problem..- The exponential complexity of the many body problem is reduced to a polynomial complexity..- Simplest examples of ESM are dynamical symmetry models. The Hamiltonian is a combination of Casimir operators of a Lie algebra. Analytically solvable. Elliot SU(3), IBM SU(3), O(6), U(5). Etc Why are ESM important?.- They can unveil physical properties that cannot described with existing many-body theories..- They could constitute stringent test for many-body theories. Benchmark models.
10 Recovery of the Richardson solution: Ultrasmall superconducting grains A fundamental question posed by P.W. Anderson in J. Phys. Chem. Solids 11 (1959) 26 : at what particle size will superconductivity actually disappear? Since d~vol -1 Anderson argued that for a sufficiently small metallic particle, there will be a critical size d ~Δ bulk at which superconductivity must disappear. This condition arises for grains at the nanometer scale. Main motivation from the revival of this old question came from the works: D.C. Ralph, C. T. Black y M. Tinkham, PRL s 74 (1995) 3421 ; 76 (1996) 688 ; 78 (1997) 4087.
11 The model used to study metallic grains is the reduced BCS Hamiltonian in a discrete basis: ( ) jσ H = ε μ c c λd c c c c jσ Single particles are assumed equally spaced jσ jσ j+ j j j+ jj' ε jσ = jd, j = 1,, Ω where Ω is the total number of levels given by the Debye frequency ω D and the level spacing d as dω = 2 ω D

14 Thermodynamic limit of the Richardson equations M. Gaudin (unpublished). J.M. Roman, G. Sierra and JD, Nucl. Phys. B 634 (2002) 483. V, N, G=g / V and ρ=n / V By using electrostatic techniques and assuming that extremes of the arc are 2μ+2 i Δ, Gaudin derived the BCS equations: Gap Number The equation for the arc Γ is, ( E μ ) ( ε ) 1 g 1 dε + = 0 2 G ( ) 2 2 ε μ +Δ ρ = dε g( ε) 1 ε μ ( ) 2 2 ε μ +Δ ( ) 2 2 z = ε μ +Δ z ( ε μ) ln + iδ Δ + ( E μ)( ε μ) + z ( ε μ) +Δ 0= Re dε ε ln ( ε μ) +Δ iδ( E ε ) 2 2 2

16 For a uniform 3D system in the thermodynamic limit the Gap equation is singular. Leggett (1980) proposed a regularization based on the subtraction the scattering length equation. m π 1 1 g = + dε ε 2 4 as G 2 ( ε ) Scattering length The Leggett model describes the BCS-BEC crossover in terms of a single parameter η = 1/ k. The resulting equations can be Fas integrated (Papenbrock and Bertsch PRC 59, 2052 (1999)) 2 2 μ 4 η = μ +Δ P1/2 2 2 μ +Δ 4 ( 2 2) 3/4 = ημ + μ +Δ P3/2 3π μ μ + Δ 2 2

36 Summary From the analysis of the exact BCS wavefunction we proposed a new pictorial view to the nature of the Cooper pairs Alternative definition of the fraction of the condensate. Consistent with change of sign of the chemical potential. For finite system, PBCS improves significantly over BCS but it is still far from the exact solution. Typically, PBCS misses of order 1 MeV in binding energy. The T=0,1 pairing model could be a benchmark to study different approximations like the isocranking model or approximations dealing with alpha correlations and alpha condensation. It can be also describe the Ginnocchio model with non-degenerate orbits or spin 3/2 cold atom models. SP(6) RG model: A deformed-superfluid benchmark model?
