Cavitation from bulk viscosity in neutron stars and quark stars

Jes Madsen

The bulk viscosity in quark matter is sufficiently high to reduce the effective pressure below the corresponding vapor pressure during density perturbations in neutron stars and st…

Search for stable Strange Quark Matter in lunar soil

Ke Han, Jeffrey Ashenfelter, Alexei Chikanian +7

We report results from a search for strangelets (small chunks of Strange Quark Matter) in lunar soil using the Yale WNSL accelerator as a mass spectrometer. We have searched over a…

Universal Charge-Radius Relation for Subatomic and Astrophysical Compact Objects

Jes Madsen

Electron-positron pair creation in supercritical electric fields limits the net charge of any static, spherical object, such as superheavy nuclei, strangelets, and Q-balls, or comp…

Signature of deconfinement with spin down compression in cooling hybrid stars

Morten Stejner, Fridolin Weber, Jes Madsen

The thermal evolution of neutron stars is coupled to their spin down and the resulting changes in structure and chemical composition. This coupling correlates stellar surface tempe…

Strangelets in Cosmic Rays

Jes Madsen

The properties of strangelets are reviewed and two experiments searching for them in cosmic rays are described. The prospects for strangelets as ultra-high energy cosmic rays beyon…
