Abstract

The asymptotic form of a neutron Cooper pair penetrating to the exterior of a nuclear surface is investigated with the Bogoliubov theory for the superfluid fermions. Based on a two-particle Schrödinger equation governing the Cooper-pair wave function and systematic studies for both weakly bound and stable nuclei, the Cooper pair is shown to be spatially correlated even in the asymptotic large distance limit, and the penetration length of the pair condensate is revealed to be universally governed by the two-neutron separation energy S2n and the di-neutron mass 2m.
