Isoscalar Giant Resonances of ^120Sn in the Quasiparticle Relativistic Random Phase Approximation

The quasiparticle relativistic random phase approximationmean field ground state in the response function formalism(QRRPA) is formulated based on the relativistic The pairing correlations are taken into accountin the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approximation with a constant pairing gap. The numerical calculations are performed in the case of various isoscalar giant resonances of nucleus ^120Sn with parameter set NL3. The calculated results show that the QRRPA approach could satisfactorily reproduce the experimental data of the energies of low-lying states.
