The Selfconsistent Quasiparticle RPA (SCQRPA) is constructed [1] to study the effects of fluctuations on pairing properties in finite systems. The theory is applied to nuclei at finite temperature [2] and angular momentum [3]. Particle number projection is taken into account within the Lipkin-Nogami method. Several issues such as the smoothing of superfluid-normal phase transition, thermally assisted pairing in hot rotating nuclei, extraction of the nuclear pairing gap using an improved odd-even mass difference are discussed [4]. Finally, a novel approach of embedding the projected SCQRPA eigenvalues in the canonical ensemble (CE) is proposed (the CE-SCQRPA) [5]. Applied to a doubly-folded equidistant multilevel pairing model, the proposed CE-SCQRPA produces results in good agreement with those obtained by using the exact eigenvalues, whenever the latter are possible, and is workable also for large values of particle number (N>14), where the diagonalisation of the pairing Hamiltonian is impracticable.
