Abstract
The pairing contribution to the odd-even oscillations in the nuclear binding energies is considered in the framework on the nuclear shell model. Schematic and realistic Hamiltonians are used to understand the trends related to pairing and shell gaps. Detailed results are shown and discussed for the calcium isotopes. Results are also shown for carbon, oxygen and neon as well as the overall trends for all nuclei.
