Spatial structure of a vortex in low density neutron matter

Abstract

We study in a fully selfconsistent approach the structure of a vortex in low density superfluid neutron matter. We determine that the matter density profile of a vortex shows a significant depletion in the region of the core, a feature never reported for a vortex state in a Fermi superfluid.
