Fermionic Molecular Dynamics for nuclear dynamics and thermodynamics

K. H. O. Hasnaoui, Ph. Chomaz, F. Gulminelli

A new Fermionic Molecular Dynamics (FMD) model based on a Skyrme functional is proposed in this paper. After introducing the basic formalism, some first applications to nuclear str…

Cluster formation in asymmetric nuclear matter: semi-classical and quantal approaches

C. Ducoin, J. Margueron, Ph. Chomaz

The nuclear-matter liquid-gas phase transition induces instabilities against finite-size density fluctuations. This has implications for both heavy-ion-collision and compact-star p…

Probing the nuclear EOS with fragment production

M. Colonna, J. Rizzo, Ph. Chomaz +1

We discuss fragmentation mechanisms and isospin transport occurring in central collisions between neutron rich systems at Fermi energies. In particular, isospin effects are analyze…

Isospin-dependent clusterization of Neutron-Star Matter

Camille Ducoin, Philippe Chomaz, Francesca Gulminelli

Because of the presence of a liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter, compact-star matter can present a region of instability against the formation of clusters. We investigat…

Thermodynamics of compact-star matter within an ising approach

P. Chomaz, C. Ducoin, F. Gulminelli +2

In the formation and evolution of compact stars, nuclear matter explores high thermal excursions and is the site of intense neutrino emission. Neutrino transport as well as structu…

Ising analogue to compact-star matter

P. Napolitani, Ph. Chomaz, F. Gulminelli +1

By constructing an Ising analogue of compact-star matter at sub-saturation density we explored the effect of Coulomb frustration on the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition. Our con…
