Model-space approach to S-1(0) neutron and proton pairing in neutron star matter with the Bonn meson-exchange potentials

In this work we calculate neutron and proton energy gaps in neutron star matter, using the Bonn meson-exchange interactions and a model-space approach to the gap equation. This approach allows a consistent calculation of energy gaps and single-particle energies with the model-space Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (MBHF) method, without double counting of two-particle correlations. Neutron energy gaps are calculated at zero and finite temperature. Proton energy gaps are calculated at beta equilibrium, and it is shown that the inclusion of muons has a significant effect. The results are compared with those of other works, and the implications for neutron star physics are briefly discussed.
