Role of chiral two-body currents in Li magnetic properties in light of a new precision measurement with the relative self-absorption technique

U. Friman-Gayer, C. Romig, T. Hüther +18

A direct measurement of the decay width of the excited state of Li using the relative self-absorption technique is reported. Our value of $Γ_{γ, 0^+_1 \to 1^+_1} = 8.17…

Spin-polarized neutron matter, the maximum mass of neutron stars, and GW170817

I. Tews, A. Schwenk

We investigate how a phase transition from neutron-star matter to spin-polarized neutron matter affects the equation of state and mass-radius relation of neutron stars. While gener…

Dense matter with eXTP

Anna L. Watts, Wenfei Yu, Juri Poutanen +73

In this White Paper we present the potential of the Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for determining the nature of dense matter; neutron star cores host an extr…

Equation of state sensitivities when inferring neutron star and dense matter properties

S. K. Greif, G. Raaijmakers, K. Hebeler +2

Understanding the dense matter equation of state at extreme conditions is an important open problem. Astrophysical observations of neutron stars promise to solve this, with NICER p…

Is a Trineutron Resonance Lower in Energy than a Tetraneutron Resonance?

S. Gandolfi, H. -W. Hammer, P. Klos +2

We present quantum Monte Carlo calculations of few-neutron systems confined in external potentials based on local chiral interactions at next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral eff…

Unexpectedly large charge radii of neutron-rich calcium isotopes

R. F. Garcia Ruiz, M. L. Bissell, K. Blaum +19

Despite being a complex many-body system, the atomic nucleus exhibits simple structures for certain "magic" numbers of protons and neutrons. The calcium chain in particular is both…
