摘要

Two superfluid states of nuclear matter, which are supposed to play an important role in neutron stars, are discussed: the first one due to the proton-proton (1) S (0) pairing in beta-equilibrium nuclear matter; the second one due to the anisotropic neutron-neutron (3) PF (2) pairing in neutron matter. Since the two phases appear at high density of nuclear matter, the three-body forces were added to the pairing interaction and the strong correlation effects in the single-paricle spectrum. The energy gaps, obtained solving the extended BCS equations, significantly deviate from the values without medium effects so as to limit the role of these two superfluid states in the interpretation of phenomena occurring in the neutron-star core.
