Quark-quark interaction and quark matter in neutron stars

Abstract
Hyperon () mixing in neutron-star matter brings about a remarkable softening of the equation of state (EoS) and the maximum mass is reduced to a value far less than . One idea to avoid this "hyperon puzzle in neutron stars" is to assume that the many-body repulsions work universally for every kind of baryons. The other is to take into account the quark deconfinement phase transitions from a hadronic EoS to a sufficiently stiff quark-matter EoS. In the present approach, both effects are handled in a common framework. As well as the hadronic matter, the quark matter with the two-body quark-quark interactions are treated within the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone theory beyond the mean field frameworks, where interaction parameters are based on the terrestrial data. The derived mass-radius relations of neutron stars show that maximum masses reach over even in the cases of including hadron-quark phase transitions, being consistent with the recent observations for maximum masses and radii of neutron stars by the NICER measurements and the other multimessenger data.
