The microscopic pairing gap in a slab of nuclear matter for the Argonne v18 NN-potential Original Research Article

Ab initio gap equation for 1S0 pairing in a nuclear slab is solved for the Argonne v18NN-potential. The gap function is compared in detail with the one found previously for the separable form of the Paris potential. The difference between the two gaps turned out to be about 10%. Dependence of the gap on the chemical potential μ is analyzed.
