Abstract:The proton and neutron1S0pairing gaps in β-stable neutron star matter have been studied by using the isospin dependent Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach and the BCS theory. We have concentrated on investigating and discussing the effect of three-body force. The calculated results indicate that the three-body force has only a small effect on the neutron1S0superfluidity in β-stable neutron matter, i.e., it leads to a small reduction of the neutron 1S 0 paring gap. However the three-body force not only suppresses strongly the strength of the proton1S0superfluidity in β-stable neutron star matter but also reduces largely the density domain for the proton1S0superfluidity phase from ρB<0.45fm-3to ρB<0.3fm-3. It is also shown that the three-body force enhances largely the proton fraction in β-stable neutron star matter at high densities.
