Bound two-pion Cooper pairs in nuclei?

  • Short Note
  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atomic Nuclei

Abstract

The possibility of bound two-pion (Cooper) pairs in a nuclear medium and their eventual Bose condensation is pointed out. This stems from the fact that freeπ —π scattering in theI=0,l=0 channel shows attraction and that the kinetic energy is strongly suppressed in matter through coupling to Δ —h intermediate states. Connections to theσ meson in effective field theories for nuclear matter are discussed.
