Bayesian inference of neutron star crust properties using an ab initio-benchmarked meta-model
S. Burrello, F. Gulminelli, M. Antonelli +2
Accurate modeling of the neutron star crust is essential for interpreting multimessenger observations and constraining the nuclear equation of state (EoS). However, standard phenom…

The article describes the main achievements of the NUMEN project together with an updated and detailed overview of the related R&D activities and theoretical developments. NUMEN pr…
Study of one-proton transfer reaction for the O + Ti system at 275 MeV
O. Sgouros, M. Cavallaro, F. Cappuzzello +38
Single-nucleon transfer reactions are processes that selectively probe single-particle components of the populated many-body nuclear states. In this context, recent efforts have be…
