In order to give answers to these questions, a pairing Hamiltonian for fixed number of particles is studied including the degeneracy of levels around the Fermi energy. For d-fold degenerate states we find that the ratio of two successive parity parameters Δ p is nearly 1 + l/d.EnglishGround state energyCanonical ensembleParity effectLevel spacingTime reversal symmetryBook Chapter10.1007/978-94-011-4327-1_2510.1007/978-94-011-4327-19789401143271
