We perform a detailed calculation of the pairing properties of the inner crust of a neutron star. We focus on a specific density, and take into account the coexistence of a nuclear lattice with a superfluid gas of neutrons. The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations are solved adding the matrix el
