Precision Neutron Skins of Pb and Ca from Parity-Violating Electron Scattering

PREX Collaboration, D. Adhikari, H. Albataineh +100

We have measured the parity-violating elastic electron scattering asymmetry in the PREX and CREX experiments on Pb and Ca respectively; these are both doubly-mag…

Plasticity of Neutron Star Crusts

Matthew E Caplan, Nevin T Smith, Ashley J Bransgrove +1

We use first-principles molecular dynamics simulations to study the deformation and breaking of neutron star crusts. When simulating with strain rates several orders of magnitude s…

Neutron Skins: Weak Elastic Scattering and Neutron Stars

Juliette M. Mammei, Charles J. Horowitz, Jorge Piekarewicz +2

The recently completed PREX-2 campaign - which measured the weak form factor of lead at an optimal momentum transfer - has confirmed that the neutron skin of lead is relatively lar…

Determination of the Equation of State from Nuclear Experiments and Neutron Star Observations

Chun Yuen Tsang, ManYee Betty Tsang, William G. Lynch +2

With recent advances in neutron star observations, major progress has been made in determining the pressure of neutron star matter at high density. This pressure is constrained by…

Anisotropic neutron star crust, solar system mountains, and gravitational waves

J. A. Morales, C. J. Horowitz

"Mountains" or non-axisymmetric deformations of rotating neutron stars (NS) efficiently radiate gravitational waves (GW). We consider analogies between NS mountains and surface fea…

Density Dependence of the Symmetry Energy in the Post PREX-CREX Era

Brendan T. Reed, F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz +1

The recently published CREX results suggest a rather peculiar picture for the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Whereas PREX favors a large neutron skin thickness in $^{20…
