Pseudospin symmetry restoration and the in-medium balance between nuclear attractive and repulsive interactions

Jing Geng (耿晶), Jia Jie Li (李佳杰), Wen Hui Long (龙文辉), Yi Fei Niu (牛一斐), and Shi Yao Chang (常士尧)

Phys. Rev. C 100, 051301(R) (2019) - Published 4 November, 2019

Relativistic mean-field calculations (pure Hartree calculations) have problems reproducing the single-particle energies for some pseudo-spin doublets (orbits with $n$ , $l$ , $j = l + 1 / 2$ and $n - 1$ , $l + 2$ , $j = l + 3 / 2$ ) and can lead to incorrect magic numbers. The authors show how this can be corrected in a relativistic Hartree-Fock calculation. In particular, the $ρ$ -tensor coupling plays an important role. The results provide qualitative guidance for treating the delicate balance between attractive and repulsive interactions in the dynamic nuclear medium.

Electroweak probes of ground state densities

Junjie Yang, Jesse A. Hernandez, and J. Piekarewicz

Phys. Rev. C 100, 054301 (2019) - Published 1 November, 2019

The weak nuclear force is a crucial probe of both fundamental physics and nuclear structure. This paper reviews the idea of using precision electroweak probes to measure the neutron skin of nuclei. This, in turn, is used to tune parameters in density functional theory not otherwise tightly constrained in finite nuclei—but which have a critical impact on the equation of state for neutron stars.

Equation of state effects in the core collapse of a $20 − M_{⊙}$ star

A. S. Schneider, L. F. Roberts, C. D. Ott, and E. O'Connor

Phys. Rev. C 100, 055802 (2019) - Published 7 November, 2019

Stars heavier than several times the mass of the Sun undergo a core-collapse event at the end of their lives. The dynamics of this process, which may lead to a supernova explosion, is mainly determined by the equation of state of dense matter, which also determines whether the collapse gives birth to a neutron star or a black hole. Whereas it is relatively well understood how the properties of neutron stars are affected by variations in the nuclear equation of state, the authors probe the rather unexplored effects of such variations on supernova dynamics and their neutrino signals. The authors demonstrate that the core collapse is mainly affected by changes in the nucleon effective masses which, within the Skyrme model employed, control the yet poorly constrained finite temperature dependence of the equation of state.
