Exploring ${}^3{P}_0$ Superfluid in Dilute Spin-Polarized Neutron Matter

Abstract

We explore the theoretical possibility of ${}^3{P}_0$ neutron superfluid in dilute spin-polarized neutron matter, which may be relevant to the crust region of a magnetized neutron star. In such a dilute regime where the neutron Fermi energy is less than 1 MeV, the ${}^1{S}_0$ neutron superfluid can be suppressed by a strong magnetic field of the compact star. In the low-energy limit relevant for dilute neutron matter, the ${}^3{P}_0$ interaction is stronger than the ${}^3{P}_2$ one which is believed to induce the triplet superfluid in the core. We present the ground-state phase diagram of dilute neutron matter with respect to the magnetic field and numerically estimate the critical temperature of the ${}^3{P}_0$ neutron superfluid, which is found to exceed $10^7$ K.
