Abstract

We present results for the 3P23F2^3P_2 - ^3F_2 pairing gap in neutron matter with several realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials, in particular with recent, phase-shift equivalent potentials. We find that their predictions for the gap cannot be trusted at densities above ρ1.7ρ0\rho\approx 1.7\rho_0, where ρ0\rho_0 is the saturation density for symmetric nuclear matter. In order to make predictions above that density, potential models which fit the nucleon-nucleon phase shifts up to about 1 GeV are required.
