Abstract:
We calculate strong-coupling corrections to the
3P2
neutron-star-matter Ginzburg-Landau
functional including spin-orbit and central forces. Based on a two-parameter approximation
for the spin-orbit scattering amplitude and typical estimates for the neutron-matter Landau
parameters we conclude that the most likely equilibrium phase of
3P2
neutron matter is described
by a unitary order parameter. Better calculations of neutron-matter parameters, particularly the
spin-orbit scattering amplitude, would allow a stronger conclusion.
