L.N. Cooper considered the scattering of two particles which have an attractive interaction in the presence of a Fermi sea (restricting the possible momenta where the particles can scatter). He showed that even for arbitrarily small interactions, pairs will be formed in the system. Instability of the Fermi sea: pair formation happens for any non-zero, attractive interaction.

the different M-components become uncoupled and all equal. No dependence on the quantum number M, but L components are coupled by tensor terms

we used the method suggested by Khodel where the original gap equation is replaced by a coupled set of equations for the dimensionless gap function χ(p) defjned by Δ(p) = ΔF χ(p) and a non-linear algebraic equation for the gap magnitude ΔF = Δ(pF) at the Fermi surface.

Khodel’s method (I)

Vll0(k, k0) = vll0φll0(k)φll0(k0) + Wll0(k, k0) ,

φll0(k) = Vll0(k, kF )/Vll0(kF , kF ) vll0 = Vll0(kF , kF )

The potential is written in the following way

∆l(k) − X

The gap equation becomes

dτ = k2dk/π

How to renormalize NN forces

One can use RG transformations to evolve to lower Λ while preserving the truncation error of the original Hamiltonian ➩ eliminate coupling between high- and low-momenta components (kF ≤ 2 fm−1)

  • 1. Strong short-range repulsion (hard core )
  • 2. Iterated tensor (S12) interaction
  • 3. Near zero-energy bound states
