Pairing correlations in high-K bands

The tilted axis cranking model is used in combination with the random phase approximation and particle number projection to analyze the influence of dynamical pairing correlations in the high-K bands of 178-W and their effect on relative energy and angular momentum. The calculations show the importance of dynamical pairing correlations to describe the experiment as well as advantages and problems with the different models in the superfluid and normal state regions.
