Non-adiabatic corrections to nucleonic pairing

Determine the magnitude of non-adiabatic and strong-coupling corrections to nucleonic pairing and establish whether Eliashberg-type treatments can be systematically extended to dense nuclear matter.

Background

The review notes that collective modes of dense nuclear matter may mediate or renormalize pairing, making energy-dependent and strong-coupling effects potentially important beyond conventional BCS treatments.

References

How large are non-adiabatic and strong-coupling corrections to nucleonic pairing, and can Eliashberg-type treatments of the energy dependence of the gap be systematically extended to dense nuclear matter?
