Nuclear spin-isospin correlations, parity violation, and thefπproblem

Parity violation in nuclear systems

Parity violation in nuclear systems is reviewed. A few ingredients relevant to the description of the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon force in terms of meson exchanges are reminded. Effects in nuclear systems are then considered. They involve pp scattering, some complex nuclei and the deuteron system. PACS. 24.80.+y Nuclear tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries

Spin-isospin stability of nuclear matter

We calculate the density-dependent spin-isospin asymmetry energy J(kf ) of nuclear matter in the three-loop approximation of chiral perturbation theory. The interaction contributions to J(kf ) originate from one-pion exchange, iterated one-pion exchange, and irreducible two-pion exchange with no, single, and double virtual ∆-isobar excitation. We find that the approximation to 1π-exchange and i...

Spin and Isospin Asymmetry, Equation of State and Neutron Stars

In the present work, we have obtained the equation of state for neutron star matter considering the in uence of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin state. We have also investigated the structure of neutron stars. According to our results, the spin asymmetry stiens the equation of state and leads to high mass for the neutron star.

Azimuthal charged-particle correlations and possible local strong parity violation.

Parity-odd domains, corresponding to nontrivial topological solutions of the QCD vacuum, might be created during relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These domains are predicted to lead to charge separation of quarks along the system's orbital momentum axis. We investigate a three-particle azimuthal correlator which is a P even observable, but directly sensitive to the charge separation effect. W...
