Including Thermal Mesons and Meson Resonances in the Chiral Mean-Field Equation of State

Micheal Kahangirwe, Joaquin Grefa, Mateus Reinke Pelicer +3

The Chiral Mean-Field (CMF) model describes dense matter in terms of baryons and quarks interacting through scalar and vector meson mean fields. In the mean-field approximation, th…

MUSES workflows for pQCD constraints on dense matter with finite quark masses

Isabella Danhoni, Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Débora Mroczek +3

We present a modular implementation of next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD (pQCD) thermodynamics with finite strange quark mass in the MUSES Calculation Engine, enabling r…

How strange: Phase diagrams with 3 critical points

Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Nikolas Cruz Camacho, Rajesh Kumar +2

We show that the Chiral Mean-Field model (CMF) can produce a phase diagram with three critical points: the nuclear liquid-gas transition, quark deconfinement, and a strangeness dri…

Strangeness Transport in Binary Neutron Star Mergers

Melvin Storbacka, Jiaxi Wu, Alexander Haber +5

The presence of hyperons in the cores of neutron stars opens fast strangeness equilibration channels that can produce bulk-viscous dissipation during binary inspiral. Because these…

Nuclear matter equation of state and astrophysics

Mateus Reinke Pelicer

Neutron-star masses, radii, and inspiral tidal deformabilities now provide quantitative constraints on the cold equation of state (\eos), favoring relatively soft matter around one…

Neural-Accelerated Bayesian Calibration of Chiral Mean-Field Models to Nuclear Saturation and Vacuum Properties

Isaac Legred, Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Veronica Dexheimer +2

Chiral models of nuclear interactions provide approximate, phenomenological descriptions of dense matter that respect the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics. Their Lagrangian par…

Studying the QCD Matter produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions using the MUSES Calculation Engine

Johannes Jahan, Kevin P. Pala, Yumu Yang +42

The equation of state of hot and dense matter is essential for describing heavy-ion collisions at all collision energies. Here, we explore the capabilities of the latest version of…

An Overview of the MUSES Calculation Engine and How It Can Be Used to Describe Neutron Stars

Mateus Pelicer, Veronica Dexheimer, Joaquin Grefa

For densities beyond nuclear saturation, there is still a large uncertainty in the equations of state (EoS) of dense matter that translate into uncertainties in the internal struct…

Building Neutron Stars with the MUSES Calculation Engine

Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Nikolas Cruz-Camacho, Carlos Conde +25

Exploring the equation of state of dense matter is an essential part of interpreting the observable properties of neutron stars. We present here the first results for dense matter…

Phase Stability in the 3-Dimensional Open-source Code for the Chiral mean-field Model

Nikolas Cruz-Camacho, Rajesh Kumar, Mateus Reinke Pelicer +5

In this paper we explore independently for the first time three chemical potentials (baryon , charged , and strange ) in the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model. We design…

Correlation between the symmetry energy slope and the deconfinement phase transition

Luiz L. Lopes, Debora P. Menezes, Mateus R. Pelicer

We study how the nuclear symmetry energy slope () can affect the hadron-quark phase transition and neutron star properties. We show that the main physical quantities as the crit…

Exotic Baryons in Hot Neutron Stars

Adamu Issifu, Kauan D. Marquez, Mateus R. Pelicer +1

We study the nuclear isentropic equation of state for a stellar matter composed of nucleons, hyperons, and -resonances. We investigate different snapshots of the evolution of a…

Anisotropic electron transport in the nuclear pasta phase

Mateus R. Pelicer, Marco Antonelli, Débora P. Menezes +1

The presence of nuclear pasta is expected to modify the transport properties in the mantle of neutron stars. The non-spherical geometry of the pasta nuclear clusters leads to aniso…

Do short range correlations inhibit the appearance of the nuclear pasta?

Mateus R. Pelicer, Débora P. Menezes, Mariana Dutra +1

It is well known that strongly correlated neutron-proton pairs, the short-range correlations (SRC), can modify many of the nuclear properties. In this work we have introduced, for…

Phase transitions and latent heat in magnetized matter

M. R. Pelicer, D. P. Menezes

Based on the assumption that the QCD phase diagram gives a realistic picture of hadronic and quark matter under different regimes, it is possible to claim that a quark core may be…

Exploring the effects of Delta Baryons in magnetars

K. D. Marquez, M. R. Pelicer, S. Ghosh +4

Strong magnetic fields can modify the microscopic composition of matter with consequences on stellar macroscopic properties. Within this context, we study, for the first time, the…

Fluctuations in the pasta phase

Mateus R. Pelicer, Débora P. Menezes, Celso C. Barros +1

Baryonic matter close to the saturation density is very likely to present complex inhomogeneous structures collectively known under the name of pasta phase. At finite temperature,…
