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…
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…
Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars
Alessandro Lovato, Travis Dore, Robert D. Pisarski +61
Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…
GW190814: Impact of a 2.6 solar mass neutron star on nucleonic equations of state
F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, J. Piekarewicz +1
Is the secondary component of GW190814 the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever discovered in a double compact-object system [R. Abbott et al., ApJ Lett., 896, L44…
Insights into nuclear saturation density from parity violating electron scattering
C. J. Horowitz, J. Piekarewicz, Brendan Reed
The saturation density of nuclear matter is a fundamental nuclear physics property that is difficult to predict from fundamental principles. The saturation density is closely…
