Abstract

We develop the theory of transport in nuclear superfluids well below the transition temperature. We adopt a Boltzmann-Fermi description of quasiparticle kinetics and a realistic one-pion-exchange Gaussian force with spin-isospin exchange. The microscopic transition rates generalize those occurring in the /sup 3/He problem. A partial wave treatment of the gap matrices makes evident anisotropy in the /sup 3/P/sub 2/ state. Relaxation times and mean free paths on the Fermi surface of superfluid nuclear matter are computed for isotropic BCS, Balian-Werthamer, and anisotropic /sup 3/P/sub 2/ pairing.
