Measuring the surface thickness of the weak charge density of nuclei

Brendan Reed, Z. Jaffe, C. J. Horowitz +1

The present PREX-II and CREX experiments are measuring the rms radius of the weak charge density of Pb and Ca. We discuss the feasibility of a new parity violating e…

Large Sound Speed in Dense Matter and the Deformability of Neutron Stars

Brendan Reed, C. J. Horowitz

The historic first detection of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration has set a limit on the gravitational deformability of neutron stars. In cont…

Weak radius of the proton

C. J. Horowitz

The weak charge of the proton determines its coupling to the boson. The distribution of weak charge is found to be dramatically different from the distribution of electric ch…

Shear Viscosity of the outer crust of Neutron stars: Ion Contribution

O. L. Caballero, S. Postnikov, C. J. Horowitz +1

The shear viscosity of the crust might have a damping effect on the amplitude of r-modes of rotating neutron stars. This damping has implications for the emission of gravitational…

Fusion of neutron rich oxygen isotopes in the crust of accreting neutron stars

C. J. Horowitz, H. Dussan, D. K. Berry

Fusion reactions in the crust of an accreting neutron star are an important source of heat, and the depth at which these reactions occur is important for determining the temperatur…

The Neutrino Response of Low-Density Neutron Matter from the Virial Expansion

C. J. Horowitz, A. Schwenk

We generalize our virial approach to study spin-polarized neutron matter and the consistent neutrino response at low densities. In the long-wavelength limit, the virial expansion m…
