Fast neutrino cooling of nuclear pasta in neutron stars: Molecular dynamics simulations

Zidu Lin, Matthew E. Caplan, Charles J. Horowitz, and Cecilia Lunardini

Phys. Rev. C 102, 045801 (2020) - Published 6 October, 2020

Simulations find that pasta phases beneath a neutron star’s crust could dominate the star’s neutrino emission.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Effective field theory for deformed odd-mass nuclei

T. Papenbrock and H. A. Weidenmüller

Phys. Rev. C 102, 044324 (2020) - Published 26 October, 2020

Effective field theories (EFTs) have become powerful tools in nuclear physics, first for describing the interactions between nucleons, but later expanded to other topics ranging from dark matter scattering to halo nuclei. This paper presents a master class in applying EFTs to an old idea, the particle-rotor model. In so doing, it shows not only how to construct the model, but also how to organize terms in order of importance and estimate the uncertainty in the calculation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Reexamining the relation between the binding energy of finite nuclei and the equation of state of infinite nuclear matter

M. C. Atkinson, W. H. Dickhoff, M. Piarulli, A. Rios, and R. B. Wiringa

Phys. Rev. C 102, 044333 (2020) - Published 30 October, 2020

The volume term of the semi-empirical mass formula (16 MeV) is usually assumed to be the binding energy per nucleon in symmetric nuclear matter—a considerable extrapolation from finite nuclei. The authors use the dispersive optical model to estimate the nucleon self-energy by fitting a wide range of cross sections for nucleon elastic scattering and ground-state properties. The binding energy per nucleon obtained for saturated matter in the interior of $^{208}$ Pb is 13–14 MeV, which casts doubt on the widely used 16 MeV from symmetric nuclear matter.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Superallowed $0^{+} \to 0^{+}$ nuclear $β$ decays: 2020 critical survey, with implications for $V_{ud}$ and CKM unitarity

J. C. Hardy and I. S. Towner

Phys. Rev. C 102, 045501 (2020) - Published 2 October, 2020

Superallowed $β$ -decay between nuclear analog states with isospin 1 and spin-parity $0^{+}$ offers access to fundamental tests of the properties of the electroweak interaction. With 15 such transitions precisely measured, the data collectively probe the conservation of the weak vector current, set tight limits on the presence of beyond-standard-model scalar currents, and yield the most precise value for the $V_{u d}$ element of the CKM quark-mixing matrix. $V_{u d}$ is a critical ingredient required to test the unitarity of that matrix. This work provides an in-depth review of the relevant nuclear physics input and connects these data to the fundamental couplings.
