Properties of Pairing Correlations in Infinite Nuclear Matter

Abstract

We discuss various properties of singlet S pairing in neutron and nuclear matter in terms of the bare nuclon-nucleon interaction. Relations to the NN phase shifts are discussed, as well as various properties of the BCS wave function and the coherence length for fermion superfluids in infinite matter.
