A mean-field plus pairing model for atomic nuclei in the Fe region wasstudied using a finite-temperature quantum Monte-Carlo method. We presentresults for thermodynamical quantities such as the internal energy and thespecific heat. These results give indications of a phase transition related tothe pairing amongst nucleons, around temperatures of 0.7 MeV. The influence ofthe residual interaction and of the size of the model space on the nuclearlevel densities is discussed too.Comment: 23 pages, including 17 eps figure
