Astrophysical Weak-interaction Processes and Nuclear Effective Field Theory
Low-energy nuclear weak-interaction processes play important roles in many astrophysical contexts, and effective field theory is believed to be a highly useful framework for describing these processes in a model-independent manner. I present a brief account of the basic features of the nuclear effective theory approach, and some examples of actual calculations carried out in this method. Invite...
متن کاملWeak-interaction processes during stellar collapse
Massive stars end their lifes as type II supernovae, triggered by a collapse of their central iron core with a mass of more than 1M . The general picture of a core-collapse supernova is probably well understood and has been confirmed by various observations from supernova 1987A. Nevertheless, the most sophisticated supernova simulations [1, 2, 3] currently fail to explode indicating that improv...
متن کاملNuclear Matter in Intense Magnetic Field and Weak Processes
We study the effect of magnetic field on the dominant neutrino emission processes in neutron stars.The processes are first calculated for the case when the magnetic field does not exceed the critical value to confine electrons to the lowest Landau state.We then consider the more important case of intense magnetic field to evaluate the direct URCA and the neutronisation processes. In order to es...
متن کاملSingle Hadronic - Spin Asymmetries in Weak Interaction Processes
We show that measurements of single-spin asymmetries (SSAs) in charged current weak interaction processes such as deep inelastic neutrino scattering on a polarized target and inclusive W production in polarized hadron-hadron collisions discriminate between the two fundamental QCD mechanisms (the Sivers and Collins effects) which have been proposed to explain such time-reversal-odd asymmetries. ...
متن کاملLimits Of Quantum Information In Weak Interaction Processes Of Hyperons
We analyze the achievable limits of the quantum information processing of the weak interaction revealed by hyperons with spin. We find that the weak decay process corresponds to an interferometric device with a fixed visibility and fixed phase difference for each hyperon. Nature chooses rather low visibilities expressing a preference to parity conserving or violating processes (except for the d...
