9. In general the pairing potential Δ does not coincide with the value of the superconducting gap. Δ determines the superconducting correlations, which do not necessary lead to the appearance of an energy gap in the spectrum of excitations. The latter is defined as a threshold energy at which the density of states turns finite.
