Parity Violating Electron Scattering Measurements of Neutron Densities
Shufang Ban, C. J. Horowitz, R. Michaels
Parity violating electron scattering allows model independent measurements of neutron densities that are free from most strong interaction uncertainties. In this paper we present s…
Diffusion of Neon in White Dwarf Stars
C. J. Horowitz, J. Hughto, A. S. Schneider +1
Sedimentation of the neutron rich isotope Ne may be an important source of gravitational energy during the cooling of white dwarf stars. This depends on the diffusion consta…
Relativistic effective interaction for nuclei, giant resonances, and neutron stars
F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, J. Piekarewicz +1
Nuclear effective interactions are useful tools in astrophysical applications especially if one can guide the extrapolations to the extremes regions of isospin and density that are…
Neutron rich matter, neutron stars, and their crusts
C. J. Horowitz
Neutron rich matter is at the heart of many fundamental questions in Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics. What are the high density phases of QCD? Where did the chemical elements come…
Breaking stress of neutron star crust
A. I. Chugunov, C. J. Horowitz
The breaking stress (the maximum of the stress-strain curve) of neutron star crust is important for neutron star physics including pulsar glitches, emission of gravitational waves…
Equation of State of nuclear matter in a Virial expansion of nucleons and nuclei
G. Shen, C. J. Horowitz, S. Teige
We study the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter at subnuclear density in a Virial expansion for a nonideal gas. The gas consists of neutrons, protons, alpha particles, and 8…
