چکیده

We present results obtained for nuclei, nuclear and neutron star matter, and neutron star structure obtained with the recent Argonne v18 twonucleon and Urbana IX three-nucleon interactions including relativistic boost corrections. These interactions predict that matter will undergo a transition to a spin layered phase with neutral pion condensation. We also consider the possibility of a transition to quark matter.

Microscopic many-body theory of nuclei and neutron star matter

We review the recent progress in application of microscopic many-body theory, based on realistic twoand threenucleon interactions, to nuclei and neutron star matter. Modern models of nuclear interactions are discussed along with quantum Monte Carlo methods used to calculate nuclear and nucleon matter properties. Essentially exact Green’s function Monte Carlo calculations have been successfully ...

Microscopic Theory of the Nuclear Equation of State and Neutron Star Structure

The Bethe-Brueckner-Goldstone many-body theory of the Nuclear Equation of State is reviewed in some details. In the theory, one performs an expansion in terms of the Brueckner two-body scattering matrix and an ordering of the corresponding many-body diagrams according to the number of their hole-lines. Recent results are reported, both for symmetric and for pure neutron matter, based on realist...

Relativistic Study of Medium Polarization Effects on Superfluidity in Nuclear Matter

Pairing correlation in nuclear matter has long been studied mainly in neutron matter from a view point of neutron-star physics such as cooling rates . In addition, pairing in nuclear matter with finite Z/N ratio is also becoming of interest as a basic information for the structure theory of finite nuclei, since recent development of RI-beam experiments makes it possible to study N ≃ Z medium-he...

A realistic model of superfluidity in the neutron star inner crust.

A realistic model of superfluidity in the neutron star inner crust. Abstract A semi-microscopic self-consistent quantum approach developed recently to describe the inner crust structure of neutron stars within the Wigner-Seitz (WS) method with the explicit inclusion of neutron and proton pairing correlations is further developed. In this approach, the generalized energy functional is used which...

Neutron Star Structure

A review of properties of matter in the interior of neutron stars is given. Particular attention is paid to recent many-body theory calculations of the properties of dense matter. Among topics discussed are the strong increase of tensor correlations at relatively low densities, the “relativistic boost term” in the interaction, and the sensitivity of properties of neutron star models to three-bo...
