Abstract

We present a method to calculate nuclear matter properties in the superfluid phase. The method is based on the use of self-consistent off-shell nucleon propagators in the T-matrix equation. Such a complete treatment of the spectral function, is required below and around TcT_c due to a pseudogap formation in the spectral function. In the superfluid phase we introduce the anomalous self-energy in the fermion propagators and in the T-matrix equation, consistently with the strong coupling BCS equations. The equations for the nucleon spectral function include both a contribution of condensed and scattering pairs. The method is illustrated by numerical calculations. Above TcT_c pseudogap formation is visible in the spectral function and below TcT_c a superfluid gap also appears.
