متن کاملStrangelets and Strange Quark Matter
As it has been discussed widely during this conference, strangeness opens a new dimensions to nuclear physics. Insofar, systems with strangeness number S = −1,−2 have been discussed. Here we want to examine the unknown domain of finite nuclear systems with S < −2. There have been speculations about the existence of finite systems of strange quark matter (strangelets) and strange hadronic matter...
متن کاملPhysics of Neutron Star Crusts
The physics of neutron star crusts is vast, involving many different research fields, from nuclear and condensed matter physics to general relativity. This review summarizes the progress, which has been achieved over the last few years, in modeling neutron star crusts, both at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. The confrontation of these theoretical models with observations is also briefly...
متن کاملChiral symmetry breaking and stability of strangelets
We discuss the stability of strangelets by considering dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and confinement. We use a U(3)L×U(3)R symmetric Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model for chiral symmetry breaking supplemented by a boundary condition for confinement. It is shown that strangelets with baryon number A<2×10 can stably exist. For the observables, we obtain the masses and the charge-to-baryon number rati...
متن کاملTowards a metallurgy of neutron star crusts.
In the standard picture of the crust of a neutron star, matter there is simple: a body-centered-cubic lattice of nuclei immersed in an essentially uniform electron gas. We show that, at densities above that for neutron drip (∼ 4 × 1 0(11) g cm(-3) or roughly one-thousandth of nuclear matter density), the interstitial neutrons give rise to an attractive interaction between nuclei that renders t...
