Abstract

3P2 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 equilibrium, we find that the 3P2-3F2 energy gap is reduced considerably.
