Triplet pairing in beta-stable neutron star matter

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

3P2^{3}P_{2} pairing in neutron matter is investigated using the Bonn potential models. We find pairing energy gaps in pure neutron matter comparable to the results of previous investigators when the attractive tensor coupling is included. However, taking into account that in a neutron star we have matter at β\beta equilibrium, we find that the 3P2^{3}P_{2}-3F2^{3}F_{2} energy gap is reduced considerably.
