J. M. Dong, U. Lombardo, W. Zuo
TL;DR
This paper investigates the emergence of the 3PF2 superfluid phase in high-density neutron matter using BCS theory, revealing significant suppression of the energy gap due to strong correlations, which impacts neutron-star physics.
Contribution
It provides a detailed analysis of the 3PF2 superfluid phase in neutron matter considering two and three body forces, highlighting the importance of correlations.
Findings
Energy gap is significantly quenched by strong correlations.
Reevaluation of superfluidity's role in neutron-star phenomena.
Implications for neutron-star modeling and observations.
Abstract
The onset of the 3PF2 superfluid phase in high-density neutron matter is studied within the BCS framework with two and three body forces. Owing to the strong correlations the energy gap is so sizeably quenched as to demand to reconsider the role of superfluidity in neutron-star phenomena.
