Abstract
The isotropic proton superfluidity in Neutron Star Matter is evaluated in the conventional BCS approach using Gogny effective force as the n ucleon-nucleon interaction. We have found that, neglecting the polariz ability effects and including different proton concentrations in neutr on star matter, the S-1(0) proton energy gap is considerably smaller t han the corresponding neutron isotropic gap. It is shown that at highe r densities proton superfluidity could prevail in a considerable range of density in the interior of a neutron star.
