Abstract: (Springer)

We report calculations of the superfluid pairing gap in neutron matter for the

^1S_0

components of the Reid soft-core

V_6

and the Argonne

V_{4}'

two-nucleon interactions. Ground-state calculations have been carried out using the central part of the operator-basis representation of these interactions to determine optimal Jastrow–Feenberg correlations and corresponding effective pairing interactions within the correlated basis formalism, the required matrix elements in the correlated basis being evaluated by Fermi hypernetted-chain (FHNC) techniques. Different implementations of the Fermi hypernetted-chain Euler–Lagrange (FHNC-EL) method agree at the percent level up to nuclear matter saturation density. For the assumed interactions, which are realistic within the low density range involved in

^1S_0

neutron pairing, we did not find a dimerization instability arising from divergence of the in-medium scattering length, as was reported recently for simple square-well and Lennard–Jones potential models (Fan et al. in Phys Rev A 92:023640, 2015).
