Pseudo-Goldstone Modes in Isospin-Asymmetric Nuclear Matter

چکیده
We analyze the chiral limit in dense isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter. It is shown that the pseudo-Goldstone modes in this system are qualitatively different from the case of isospin-symmetric matter. On leave from Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742

Vanishing condensates and anomalously light Goldstone modes in medium
We show that in a uniform medium, the vanishing of a particular condensate along with spontaneously broken symmetry imply the existence of an anomalously light pseudo-Goldstone mode. The consequences for a vanishing chiral condensate in nuclear matter are discussed.
متن کاملChemical and mechanical instability in hot isospin - asymmetric nuclear matter
Using phenomenological equations of state, we study the chemical and mechanical instabilities in hot isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter. Both instabilities are found to depend strongly on the isospin asymmetry of the nuclear matter. For a chemically and mechanically stable asymmetric nuclear matter, a lower neutron excess is found in the liquid phase than in the gas phase. Furthermore, the neutr...
متن کاملIsospin Physics in Heavy-ion Collisions at Intermediate Energies
In nuclear collisions induced by stable or radioactive neutron-rich nuclei a transient state of nuclear matter with an appreciable isospin asymmetry as well as thermal and compressional excitation can be created. This offers the possibility to study the properties of nuclear matter in the region between symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter. In this review, we discuss recent theoreti...
متن کاملProton and Neutron Superfluidity in Asymmetric Nuclear Matter
We investigate the 1S0 neutron and proton superfluidity in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. We have concentrated on the isospin dependence of the pairing gaps and the effect of a microscopic three-body force. It is found that as the isospin asymmetry goes higher, the neutron 1S0 superfluid phase shrinks gradually to a smaller density domain, while the proton one extends rapidly to a much wide...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 6 Landau parameters for isospin asymmetric nuclear matter based on a relativistic model of composite and finite extension nucleons ∗
We study the properties of cold asymmetric nuclear matter at high density, applying the quark meson coupling model with excluded volume corrections in the framework of the Landau theory of relativistic Fermi liquids. We discuss the role of the finite spatial extension of composite baryons on dynamical and statistical properties such as the Landau parameters, the compressibility, and the symmetr...
