Implications of PREX-II on the equation of state of neutron-rich matter
Brendan T. Reed, F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz +1
Laboratory experiments sensitive to the equation of state of neutron rich matter in the vicinity of nuclear saturation density provide the first rung in a "density ladder" that con…
On the compactness of neutron stars
Wei-Chia Chen, J. Piekarewicz
Recent progress in the determination of both masses and radii of neutron stars are starting to place stringent constraints on the dense matter equation of state. In particular, new…
Relativistic mean field plus exact pairing approach to open shell nuclei
Wei-Chia Chen, J. Piekarewicz, A. Volya
Background: Pairing correlations play a critical role in determining numerous properties of open-shell nuclei. Traditionally, they are included in a mean-field description of atomi…
Neutron Skins and Neutron Stars
J. Piekarewicz
The neutron-skin thickness of heavy nuclei provides a fundamental link to the equation of state of neutron-rich matter, and hence to the properties of neutron stars. The Lead Radiu…
Pygmies, Giants, and Skins
J. Piekarewicz
Understanding the equation of state (EOS) of neutron-rich matter is a central goal of nuclear physics that cuts across a variety of disciplines. Indeed, the limits of nuclear exist…
Neutron skins and neutron stars
F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz
Background: The neutron skin of a heavy nucleus as well as many neutron-star properties are highly sensitive to the poorly constrained density dependence of the symmetry energy. Pu…
