We report the results of a study of the superfluid gap in pure neutron matter, associated with formation of Cooper pairs in the $^1S_0$ sector. The calculations have been carried out using an improved version of the CBF effective interaction, in which three-nucleon forces are taken into account using a realistic microscopic model. Our results show that the superfluid transition occurs at densities corresponding to the neutron star inner crust, and that inclusion of three-nucleon interactions leads to a sizable reduction of the energy gap at the Fermi surface.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-05-20T21:04:55.000Z", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2017-05-18T09:36:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "neutron-star matter", "correlated basis function perturbation theory", "superfuidity", "neutron star inner crust", "state-of-the-art nuclear hamiltonian" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1234449, "adsabs": "2013arXiv1305.4659B" } } }
