Triplet pairing of neutrons in beta stable neutron star matter

pairing in neutron matter is investigated using the Bonn potential models. We find pairing energy gaps in pure neutron matter comparable to the results of previous investigators when the attractive tensor coupling is included. However, taking into account that in a neutron star we have matter at

\beta

equilibrium, we find that the

~{3}P_{2}

-

~{3}F_{2}

energy gap is reduced considerably.
