Converting Neutron Stars into Strange Stars: Instanton Model
arXiv:1404.6685 · doi:10.1142/S0218271814500783
Abstract
We estimate the quasiclassical probability of the homogeneous nuclear matter transition to a strange matter when a detonation wave propagates radially inside a sphere of nuclear matter. For this purpose we make use of instanton method which is known in the quantum field theory.
