چکیده
This article provides a concise review of selected topics in the many-body physics of low density nuclear systems. The discussion includes the condensation of alpha particles in supernova envelopes, formation of three-body bound states and the BEC-BCS crossover in dilute nuclear matter, and neutrino production in S-wave paired superfluid neutron matter.

Symmetry energy at subnuclear densities and nuclei in a neutron-star crust
We examine how the properties of inhomogeneous nuclear matter at subnuclear densities depend on the density dependence of the symmetry energy. We focus on a parameter that characterizes the density dependence of the symmetry energy S(n) at about nuclear density n0. It is the density symmetry coefficient L = 3n0(dS/dn)n=n0 . From the saturation properties of stable nuclei, we find that the usual...
متن کاملGyroid phase in nuclear pasta.
Nuclear matter is considered to be inhomogeneous at subnuclear densities that are realized in supernova cores and neutron star crusts, and the structures of nuclear matter change from spheres to cylinders, slabs, cylindrical holes, and spherical holes as the density increases. In this Letter, we discuss other possible structures, that is, gyroid and double-diamond morphologies, which are period...

One of the most interesting application of the many-body methods to the nuclear physics is the calculation of the properties of the nuclear matter, especially its binding energy. In this paper, we have studied the influence of Δ -isobar on the properties of the symmetrical nuclear matter using the lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) method with the V28 potential. It is shown that the ...
متن کاملSupernova matter at subnuclear densities as a resonant Fermi gas: enhancement of neutrino rates.
At low energies nucleon-nucleon interactions are resonant and therefore supernova matter at subnuclear densities has many similarities to atomic gases with interactions dominated by a Feshbach resonance. We calculate the rates of neutrino processes involving nucleon-nucleon collisions and show that these are enhanced in mixtures of neutrons and protons at subnuclear densities due to the large s...
متن کاملNuclear pasta structure in hot neutron stars
Structure of cold and hot dense matter at subnuclear densities is investigated by quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations. Obtained phase diagrams show that the density of the phase boundaries between the different nuclear structures decreases with increasing temperature due to the thermal expansion of nuclear matter region. At subnuclear densities, nuclear matter exhibits the coexistence ...
