  We have studied odd-even nuclear mass staggering with the
Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory by employing isoscalar and isovector
contact pairing interactions. By reproducing the empirical odd-even mass
differences of the Sn isotopic chain, the strengths of pairing interactions are
determined. The optimal strengths adjusted in this work can give better
description of odd-even mass differences than that fitted by reproducing the
experimental neutron pairing gap of $^{120}$Sn.
