Isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance of even-even 112-124Sn isotopes using BCS-QRPA

Using self-consistent Bardeen - Cooper - Schriffer + Hartree - Fock and quasiparticle random phase approximation, the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance in the isotopes of 112,114,116,118,120,122,124Sn has been studied in this work. Five sets of Skyrme-type interactions of different values of the nuclear matter incompressibility coefficient KNM and effective mass m*/m are used in the calculations. Additionally, the impact of different types of pairing forces (i.e., volume, surface, and mixed) is examined. Comparisons are made between the computed strength distributions, centroid energies Ecen, scaled energies Es, and constrained energies Econ of the isoscalar giant quadrupole resonance and the available experimental data. Analysis is done on the relationships between KNM and m*/m, and the estimated properties.
