Nucleon-Nucleon Phase Shifts and Pairing in Neutron Matter and Nuclear Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider S0 pairing in infinite neutron matter and nuclear matter and show that in the lowest order approximation, where the pairing interaction is taken to be the bare nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction in the S0 channel, the pairing interaction and the energy gap can be determined directly from the S0 phase shifts. This is due to the almost separable character of the nucleonnucleon interaction in this partial wave. Since the most recent NN interactions are charge-dependent, we have to solve coupled gap equations for proton-proton, neutron-neutron, and neutron-proton pairing in nuclear matter. The results are, however, found to be close to those obtained with charge-independent potentials.

Neutron Matter from Low-Momentum Interactions
We present a perturbative calculation of the neutron matter equation of state based on low-momentum twoand three-nucleon interactions. Our results are compared to the model-independent virial equation of state and to variational calculations, and we provide theoretical error estimates by varying the cutoff used to regulate nuclear interactions. In addition, we study the dependence of the BCS S0...

The structure of nuclei is understood to a large extent within a single-particle approach, the nuclear shell model which was introduced in nuclear theory 50 years ago [1]. Its microscopic foundation should be given from a quantum statistical treatment of the many-nucleon system, where in general also the concept of temperature can be introduced to describe excited nuclei in a dense medium. With...

Properties of dense nucleon matter and the structure of neutron stars are studied using variational chain summation methods and the new Argonne v18 two-nucleon interaction, which provides an excellent fit to all of the nucleonnucleon scattering data in the Nijmegen data base. The neutron star gravitational mass limit obtained with this interaction is 1.67M⊙ . Boost corrections to the two-nucleo...

After a brief history of neutron stars and supernovae recent developments are discussed. Based on modern nucleon-nucleon potentials more reliable equations of state for dense nuclear matter have been constructed. Furthermore, phase transitions such as pion, kaon and hyperon condensation, superfluidity and quark matter can occur in cores of neutron stars. Specifically, the nuclear to quark matte...
متن کاملA Mean Field Calculation of Thermal Properties of Simple Nucleon Matter on a Lattice
Abstract Thermal properties of single species nucleon matter are investigated assuming a simple form of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The nucleons are placed on a cubic lattice, hopping from site to site and interacting through a spin-dependent force, as in the extended, attractive Hubbard model. A mean field calculation in the Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov approximation suggests that the superflu...
