A New Scaling of Neutron Star Tidal Deformability for Directly Probing the Core Equation of State

Jian-Hao Shi, Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li +1

The dimensionless tidal deformability, , of neutron stars (NSs), inferred from gravitational-wave (GW) observations, has thus far been used primarily to constrain the pressure…

Fluid Acceleration in Heavy-Ion Collisions

Song-Ze Zhong, Xian-Gai Deng, Xu-Guang Huang +1

We study the generation and space-time evolution of fluid acceleration in heavy-ion collisions using AMPT and UrQMD transport models combined with a Gaussian smearing method. The p…

Nucleon Short-Range Correlations and High-Momentum Dynamics: Implications on the Equation of State of Dense Matter

Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma

Nucleon short-range correlations (SRCs) and their high-momentum tails (HMTs) encode key short-range dynamics in nuclei and dense matter. This review provides a concise overview of…

Neutron Star Equation of State with Nucleon Short-Range Correlations: A Concise Review and Open Issues

Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma

Nucleon short-range correlations (SRCs) and the associated high-momentum tail (HMT) in its momentum distribution represent a universal feature of strongly interacting Fermi…

Is The Trace Anomaly at its Minimum Value at Neutron Star Centers?

Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma

While the equation of state (EOS) of neutron star (NS) matter has been extensively studied, the EOS-parameter or equivalently the dimensionless…
