QUASI TWO-DIMENSIONAL NUCLEON SUPERFLUIDITY UNDER LOCALIZATION WITH PION CONDENSATION

Abstract

The aim here is to show an example for localization and relevant low-dimensional superfluids in nuclear system. Due to a particular property of tensor force originating from the One-Pion-Exchange (OPE) between two nucleons, dense nuclear medium undergoes a layer confinement of the nucleons on one hand and also pion condensation (PC) for pion field mediating two-nucleon interaction on the other hand. The localization is characterized by a layered structure with a specific spin-isospin ordering. In that situation, the pairing problem has a two-dimensional (2D) character, i.e., low-dimensional superfluid realized in the hadronic matter with strong interactions. The pairing description suitable to the 2D nature is presented and possible realization of superfluidity in neutron stars is discussed, togeter with its effect on the cooling scenarios.
