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…
An Effective Upper Bound on the Pressure-to-Energy Density Ratio in Neutron Stars
Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma
The equation-of-state (EOS) parameter , defined as the ratio of pressure to energy density, encapsulates the fundamental response of matter under extreme co…
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…
