Abstract
A self-consistent approach allowing the introduction of pairing into a comprehensive study of the bulk as well as the structure properties of nuclei is presented. It is emphasized that the density-dependent effective force used in the calculations reported here does permit the extraction of the mean field and the pairing field in the framework of the Bogolyubov theory. First, a brief review of Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov formalism with density-dependent interactions is presented. Then the derivation of the effective interaction is explained and some details concerning the nuclear matter properties are given. Finally, we report the studies on spherical nuclei with special reference to the pairing properties. In order to demonstrate the versatility of our approach a comprehensive study of various nuclear properties is given. In view of the abundance of results obtained with our approach we plan to report the results on the deformed nuclei in a future publication.
