Abstract

Realistic estimations on the elastic properties of neutron star matter are carried out with a large strain (ε≲0.5) in the framework of relativistic-mean-field model with Thomas-Fermi approximation, where various crystalline configurations are considered in a fully three-dimensional geometry with reflection symmetry. Our calculation confirms the validity of assuming Coulomb crystals for the droplet phase above neutron drip density, which nonetheless does not work at large densities since the elastic constants are found to be decreasing after reaching their peaks. Similarly, the analytic formulae derived in the incompressible liquid-drop model give excellent description for the rod phase at small densities, which overestimates the elastic constants at larger densities. For slabs, due to the negligence on the variations of their thicknesses, the analytic formulae from liquid-drop model agree qualitatively but not quantitatively with our numerical estimations. By fitting to the numerical results, these analytic formulae are improved by introducing dampening factors. The impacts of nuclear symmetry energy are examined adopting two parameter sets, corresponding to the slope of symmetry energy L=41.34 and 89.39 MeV. Even with the uncertainties caused by the anisotropy in polycrystallines, the elastic properties of neutron star matter obtained with L=41.34 and 89.39 MeV are distinctively different, results in detectable differences in various neutron star activities.

Abstract

In the framework of Thomas-Fermi approximation, we study systematically the EOSs and microscopic structures of neutron star matter in a vast density range with $n_\mathrm{b}\approx 10^{-10}$-2 $\mathrm{fm}^{-3}$, where various covariant density functionals are adopted, i.e., those with nonlinear self couplings (NL3, PK1, TM1, GM1, MTVTC) and density-dependent couplings (DD-LZ1, DDME-X, PKDD, DD-ME2, DD2, TW99). It is found that the EOSs generally coincide with each other at $n_\mathrm{b}\lesssim 10^{-4}$ fm${}^{-3}$ and 0.1 fm${}^{-3}\lesssim n_\mathrm{b} \lesssim 0.3$ fm${}^{-3}$, while in other density regions they are sensitive to the effective interactions between nucleons. By adopting functionals with larger slope of symmetry energy $L$, the curvature parameter $K_\mathrm{sym}$ and neutron drip density generally increase, while the droplet size, proton number of nucleus, core-crust transition density, and onset density of non-spherical nuclei decrease. All functionals predict neutron stars with maximum masses exceeding the two-solar-mass limit, while those of DD2, DD-LZ1, DD-ME2, and DDME-X predict optimum neutron star radii according to the observational constraints. Nevertheless, the corresponding skewness coefficients $J$ are much lager than expected, while only the functionals MTVTC and TW99 meet the start-of-art constraints on $J$. More accurate measurements on the radius of PSR J0740+6620 and the maximum mass of neutron stars are thus essential to identify the functional that satisfies all constraints from nuclear physics and astrophysical observations. Approximate linear correlations between neutron stars' radii at $M=1.4 M_{\odot}$ and $2 M_{\odot}$, the slope $L$ and curvature parameter $K_\mathrm{sym}$ of symmetry energy are observed as well, which is mainly attributed to the curvature-slope correlations in the functionals adopted here., Comment: The EOS tables can be found at: teacher.yzu.edu.cn/CJXia/en/lwcg/492393/content/79242.htm

Abstract

Inspired by various astrophysical phenomenons, it is suggested that pulsar-like compact stars are comprised entirely of strangeons (quark-clusters with three-light-flavor symmetry) and a small amount of electrons. In order to better constrain the properties of strangeon stars, we propose a linked bag model to describe the condensed matter by the strong interaction (i.e., strong condensed matter) in both 2-flavored (nucleons) and 3-flavored (hyperons, strangeons, etc.) scenarios. The model parameters are calibrated to reproduce the saturation properties of nuclear matter, which are later applied to hyperon matter and strangeon matter. Compared with baryon matter, the derived energy per baryon of strangeon matter is reduced if the strangeon carries a large number of valence quarks, which stiffens the equation of state and consequently increases the maximum mass of strangeon stars. In a large parameter space, the maximum mass and tidal deformability of strangeon stars predicted by the linked bag model are consistent with the current astrophysical constraints. It is found that the maximum mass of strangeon stars can be as large as [Formula: see text], while the tidal deformability of a [Formula: see text] strangeon star lies in the range of [Formula: see text].

Abstract

Neutron stars are high-density objects formed by the gravitational collapse of massive stars, and the whole star can be likened to a giant nucleus. The interior of a neutron star is considered to contain exotic particles and states which do not appear in a normal nucleus. The internal states are constrained by observations of masses and radii via the equation of state of highly dense nuclear matter. Within these constraints, a variety of exotic states have been discussed. The internal state of neutron stars is closely related to its neutrino emission process, which cools the star from the inside. This effect can be compared with observations of the surface temperature of neutron stars. However, despite the wide range of observations of neutron stars, the nature of the neutron star matter remains uncertain. We consider quark matter as an exotic state and perform cooling calculations for neutron stars, incorporating the effects of nucleon superfluidity and quark colour superconductivity.We take into account the “quark-hadron continuity”, in which the neutron superfluidity is succeeded by thedquark pairing. Furthermore, we obtained the range of the neutron star cooling curve, taking into account the difference in surface temperature due to the composition of the surface layer. We found that the existence of quark matter causes strong neutrino emission from quarks, which is moderately suppressedbysuperfluidity and superconductivity, and canexplain the cold surface temperature of neutron stars.

Abstract

We study the interface effects of a quark-hadron mixed phase in compact stars. The properties of nuclear matter are obtained based on the relativistic-mean-field model. For the quark phase, we adopt a perturbation model with running quark masses and coupling constant. At certain choices of parameter sets, it is found that varying the quark-hadron interface tension will have sizable effects on the radii (ΔR≈600 m) and tidal deformabilities (ΔΛ/Λ≈50%) of 1.36 solar mass hybrid stars. These provide possibilities for us to constrain the quark-hadron interface tension with future gravitational wave observations as well as the ongoing NICER mission.

Abstract

The effect of pasta phases on the quark-hadron phase transition is investigated for a set of relativistic mean-field equations of state for both hadron and quark matter. The results of the full numerical solution with pasta phases are compared with those of an interpolating construction used in previous works, for which we demonstrate an adequate description of the numerical results. A one-to-one mapping of the free parameter of the construction to the physical surface tension of the quark-hadron interface is obtained for which a fit formula is given. For each pair of quark and hadron matter models the critical value of the surface tension is determined, above which the phase transition becomes close to the Maxwell construction. This result agrees well with earlier theoretical estimates. The study is extended to neutron star matter in beta equilibrium with electrons and muons and is applied to investigate the effect of pasta phases on the structure of hybrid compact stars and the robustness of a possible third family solution., Comment: 13 pages, 10 figures, 3 tables, corresponds to the version published in Phys.

16. Multidimensional Structure Of Chiral Crystals In Quark Matter

Abstract

We discuss the possibility of a multidimensional structure of inhomogeneous chiral condensates, which might be realized in cold and dense quark matter or the core of compact stars. For one-dimensional structures, the system becomes unstable at finite temperature due to the Landau-Peierls instability attributed to the excitation of the Nambu-Goldstone modes, with the result that there is no long-range order, while quasi-long-range order is realized instead. On the other hand, chirally inhomogeneous phases with two- or three-dimensional modulations may be realized as a true long-range ordered phase at any temperature, as inferred from the Landau-Peierls theorem. We here consider possible strategies to explore a multidimensional structure of chiral crystals.

Abstract

Plant growth and productivity depend on interactions between the metabolism of carbon and nitrogen. The sensing ability of internal carbon and nitrogen metabolites (the C/N balance) enables plants to regulate metabolism and development. In order to investigate the effects of an enhanced photosynthetic capacity on the metabolism of carbon and nitrogen in photosynthetically active tissus (source leaves), we herein generated transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants (ApFS) that expressed cyanobacterial fructose-1,6-/sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase in their chloroplasts. The phenotype of ApFS plants was indistinguishable from that of wild-type plants at the immature stage. However, as plants matured, the growth of ApFS plants was superior to that of wild-type plants. Starch levels were higher in ApFS plants than in wild-type plants at 2 and 5 weeks. Sucrose levels were also higher in ApFS plants than in wild-type plants, but only at 5 weeks. On the other hand, the contents of various free amino acids were lower in ApFS plants than in wild-type plants at 2 weeks, but were similar at 5 weeks. The total C/N ratio was the same in ApFS plants and wild-type plants, whereas nitrite levels increased in parallel with elevations in nitrate reductase activity at 5 weeks in ApFS plants. These results suggest that increases in the contents of photosynthetic intermediates at the early growth stage caused a temporary imbalance in the free-C/free-N ratio and, thus, the feedback inhibition of the expression of genes involved in the Calvin cycle and induction of the expression of those involved in nitrogen metabolism due to supply deficient free amino acids for maintenance of the C/N balance in source leaves of ApFS plants.

Abstract

Development of LPSO structure and in-plane ordering during annealing the Mg85Y9Zn ternary alloy sample at 673 K (400 °C) was examined by synchrotron radiation small-angle scattering/diffraction measurements. By examining the first diffraction peaks for 18R, 10H, and in-plane order spot, the growth kinetics of in-plane order domain and the transition from 10H into 18R were discussed. The domain growth of in-plane order was characterized by small domain with little correlation between neighboring segregation layers.

Abstract

The PHENIX Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured open heavy flavor production in minimum bias Au+Au collisions at sNN−−−−√=200 GeV via the yields of electrons from semileptonic decays of charm and bottom hadrons. Previous heavy flavor electron measurements indicated substantial modification in the momentum distribution of the parent heavy quarks owing to the quark-gluon plasma created in these collisions. For the first time, using the PHENIX silicon vertex detector to measure precision displaced tracking, the relative contributions from charm and bottom hadrons to these electrons as a function of transverse momentum are measured in Au+Au collisions. We compare the fraction of electrons from bottom hadrons to previously published results extracted from electron-hadron correlations in p+p collisions at sNN−−−−√=200 GeV and find the fractions to be similar within the large uncertainties on both measurements for pT>4GeV/c. We use the bottom electron fractions in Au+Au and p+p along with the previously measured heavy flavor electron RAA to calculate the RAA for electrons from charm and bottom hadron decays separately. We find that electrons from bottom hadron decays are less suppressed than those from charm for the region 3

Abstract

The invariant yields, $dN/dy$, for $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ production at forward rapidity $(1.2l|y|l2.2)$ in $\mathrm{U}+\mathrm{U}$ collisions at $\sqrt{{s}_{{}_{NN}}}=193\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{GeV}$ have been measured as a function of collision centrality. The invariant yields and nuclear-modification factor ${R}_{AA}$ are presented and compared with those from $\mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{Au}$ collisions in the same rapidity range. Additionally, the direct ratio of the invariant yields from $\mathrm{U}+\mathrm{U}$ and $\mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{Au}$ collisions within the same centrality class is presented, and used to investigate the role of $c\overline{c}$ coalescence. Two different parametrizations of the deformed Woods-Saxon distribution were used in Glauber calculations to determine the values of the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions in each centrality class, ${N}_{\mathrm{coll}}$, and these were found to give significantly different ${N}_{\mathrm{coll}}$ values. Results using ${N}_{\mathrm{coll}}$ values from both deformed Woods-Saxon distributions are presented. The measured ratios show that the $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ suppression, relative to binary collision scaling, is similar in $\mathrm{U}+\mathrm{U}$ and $\mathrm{Au}+\mathrm{Au}$ for peripheral and midcentral collisions, but that $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ show less suppression for the most central $\mathrm{U}+\mathrm{U}$ collisions. The results are consistent with a picture in which, for central collisions, increase in the $J/\ensuremath{\psi}$ yield due to $c\overline{c}$ coalescence becomes more important than the decrease in yield due to increased energy density. For midcentral collisions, the conclusions about the balance between $c\overline{c}$ coalescence and suppression depend on which deformed Woods-Saxon distribution is used to determine ${N}_{\mathrm{coll}}$.

Abstract

Measurements of midrapidity charged particle multiplicity distributions, $dN_{\rm ch}/d\eta$, and midrapidity transverse-energy distributions, $dE_T/d\eta$, are presented for a variety of collision systems and energies. Included are distributions for Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$, 130, 62.4, 39, 27, 19.6, 14.5, and 7.7 GeV, Cu$+$Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ and 62.4 GeV, Cu$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV, U$+$U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=193$ GeV, $d$$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV, $^{3}$He$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV, and $p$$+$$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. Centrality-dependent distributions at midrapidity are presented in terms of the number of nucleon participants, $N_{\rm part}$, and the number of constituent quark participants, $N_{q{\rm p}}$. For all $A$$+$$A$ collisions down to $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=7.7$ GeV, it is observed that the midrapidity data are better described by scaling with $N_{q{\rm p}}$ than scaling with $N_{\rm part}$. Also presented are estimates of the Bjorken energy density, $\varepsilon_{\rm BJ}$, and the ratio of $dE_T/d\eta$ to $dN_{\rm ch}/d\eta$, the latter of which is seen to be constant as a function of centrality for all systems.

Abstract

PHENIX measurements are presented for the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry (A(LL)) in inclusive pi(0) production at midrapidity from p + p collisions at root s = 510 GeV from data taken in 2012 and 2013 at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The next-to-leading-order perturbative-quantum-chromodynamics theory calculation is in excellent agreement with the presented cross section results. The calculation utilized parton-to-pion fragmentation functions from the recent DSS14 global analysis, which prefer a smaller gluon-to-pion fragmentation function. The pi(0)A(LL) results follow an increasingly positive asymmetry trend with p(T) and root s with respect to the predictions and are in excellent agreement with the latest global analysis results. This analysis incorporated earlier results on pi(0) and jet A(LL) and suggested a positive contribution of gluon polarization to the spin of the proton Delta G for the gluon momentum fraction range x > 0.05. The data presented here extend to a currently unexplored region, down to x similar to 0.01, and thus provide additional constraints on the value of Delta G.

Abstract

We study the possibility of two types of inhomogeneous phases in core of neutron stars: one is the Coulomb crystal, which is known as quark-hadron pasta structures, and another one is chiral crystal. In the Coulomb crystal, the inhomogeneous phase appears as the result of the balance between the surface tension and the Coulomb interaction. In chiral crystal, we study the inhomogeneous chiral condensate, which has spatial modulation. In the simple model in 1+1 dimensions, this condensate has the same feature with the FFLO state, which is well known in the condensed matter physics.

Abstract

The effects of the $\Lambda$(1405) ($\Lambda^\ast$) on the structure of the multi-antikaonic nucleus (MKN), in which several $K^-$ mesons are embedded to form deeply bound states, are considered based on chiral symmetry combined with a relativistic mean-field theory. It is shown that additional attraction resulting from the $\Lambda^\ast$ pole has a sizable contribution to not only the density profiles for the nucleons and $K^-$ mesons but also the ground state energy of the $K^-$ mesons and binding energy of the MKN as the number of the embedded $K^-$ mesons increases., Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Talk presented at the 10th International Conference on Hypernuclear and Strange Particle Physics (Hyp-X), Tokai, Japan, Sept. 14-18, 2009.

Abstract

The structure of multi-antikaonic nuclei (MKN), where several K− mesons are bound in the nucleus, is studied in the relativistic mean-field model. A kaonic part of the thermodynamic potential including kaon-nucleon interactions is derived on the basis of chiral symmetry (abbreviated as a chiral model). It is shown that nonperturbative effects from kaons in the chiral model on the properties of the MKN such as the density distributions of nucleons and K− mesons and the binding energy become important since the number of the embedded K− increases.

Abstract

As an aggressive pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus poses a significant public health threat and is becoming increasingly resistant to currently available antibiotics, including vancomycin, the drug of last resort for gram-positive bacterial infections. S. aureus with intermediate levels of resistance to vancomycin (vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus [VISA]) was first identified in 1996. The resistance mechanism of VISA, however, has not yet been clarified. We have previously shown that cell wall thickening is a common feature of VISA, and we have proposed that a thickened cell wall is a phenotypic determinant for vancomycin resistance in VISA (L. Cui, X. Ma, K. Sato, et al., J. Clin. Microbiol. 41: 5-14, 2003). Here we show the occurrence of an anomalous diffusion of vancomycin through the VISA cell wall, which is caused by clogging of the cell wall with vancomycin itself. A series of experiments demonstrates that the thickened cell wall of VISA could protect ongoing peptidoglycan biosynthesis in the cytoplasmic membrane from vancomycin inhibition, allowing the cells to continue producing nascent cell wall peptidoglycan and thus making the cells resistant to vancomycin. We conclude that the cooperative effect of the clogging and cell wall thickening enables VISA to prevent vancomycin from reaching its true target in the cytoplasmic membrane, exhibiting a new class of antibiotic resistance in gram-positive pathogens.

Abstract

We report on J/psi production from asymmetric Cu + Au heavy-ion collisions at root S-NN = 200 GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at both forward (Cu-going direction) and backward (Au-going direction) rapidities. The nuclear modification of J/psi yields in Cu + Au collisions in the Au-going direction is found to be comparable to that inAu + Au collisions when plotted as a function of the number of participating nucleons. In the Cu-going direction, J/psi production shows a stronger suppression. This difference is comparable in magnitude and has the same sign as the difference expected from shadowing effects due to stronger low-x gluon suppression in the larger Au nucleus.

Abstract

Non-uniform structures of the mixed phase at the first-order phase transition to the charged kaon condensation are studied using the density functional theory within the relativistic mean-field model. Including the electric field effects and applying Gibbs conditions in a proper way, we numerically determine density profiles of nucleons, electrons and condensed kaons. The importance of the charge screening effects is elucidated and thereby we show that the Maxwell construction is effectively justified.

Abstract

The problem of the long life time of the pentaquark Θ+ is investigated on the basis of the color molecular dynamics simulation. We find that it takes a long time (typically of 50–100 fm/c) for the initial pentaquark state to rearrange its color and spatial positions to decay into the nucleon+kaon final state. Structure of the potential surface in the color and position spaces also supports this picture. Pentaquark wanders on the potential surface to find a narrow channel to decay.

Abstract

The Constraint Molecular Dynamics approach is illustrated together with calculation on different heavy ion collisions. In particular the charge-mass distribution produced in the collision 124Sn + 64Ni and 112Sn + 58Ni at 35 MeV/nucleon is discussed. By comparing the Y = (N − Z)/A distributions for fragments produced in central collisions it results that this observable can be sensitive to the dynamic effects induced on the two systems by the different charge/mass ratio.

Abstract

Multi-strangeness system consisting of K− mesons and baryon is investigated in a unified way for both nuclei and neutron-star matter, based on the relativistic mean-field theory for baryon-baryon interaction, coupled with the effective chiral Lagrangian incorporating K-baryon and nonlinear K− K interactions. It is shown that the ground state of the multi-strangeness nuclei is given by multihypernuclei without bound K− mesons for moderate K− optical potential depths. In neutron-star matter, coexistence of kaon condensation and hyperons is plausible, but leads to significant softening of the equation of state, which should be reconciled with recent neutron-star observations.

Abstract

The magnetism of nuclides in the outer crusts of neutron stars is considered. Employing the shell correction treatment, we demonstrate that strong magnetic fields significantly affect shell oscillations in nuclear masses. The phase shift in shell oscillations is shown to be the main feature of the field effect. Such a phase change originates from the Pauli magnetic response associated with the relative shift of spin-up and spin-down energy levels. The neutron shell correction energy behaves almost periodically as a function of the field strength with slightly enhanced amplitude of shell oscillations at large fields. The period of the sign change is determined by the energy difference between neighbor levels. The proton shell correction energy displays an anomalous dependence on the field strength. The proton orbital magnetism enhances the nuclear shell effect especially when the field influence is comparable to the spin-orbit coupling. The nuclear magic numbers are demonstrated to depend considerably on the magnetic field on the strength scale B ~ 1016-1017 G relevant for, e.g., soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars.

Abstract

We study the properties of dynamically expanding nuclear matter. For this purpose, we apply quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) model to homogeneously expanding three-dimensional system with periodic boundary condition. Simulation is performed for given initial temperatures and expanding velocities. The calculated fragment mass distribution for slow expansion obeys the power law predicted by Fisher's droplet model, while that for rapid expansion exhibits the exponential shape.

Intermediate mass fragment (IMF) multiplicity has been investigated for Au+Au reactions at incident energies of 100, 250 and 400 MeV/A. From the analysis of the impact-parameter-dependence of the IMF multiplicity using our QMD plus statistical evaporation model, we found that 1) statistical decay process modifies the results greatly, and 2) the Fermi motion plays a role to increase the IMF multiplicity for whole impact-parameter range., Comment: 9pages, Latex is used, 2 Postscript figures are available by request from iwamoto@hadron01.tokai.jaeri.go.jp

Abstract

In the neutron-star crust, nonuniform structure of nuclear matter\char22{}called the ``pasta'' structure\char22{}is expected. From recent studies of giant flares in magnetars, these structures might be related to some observables and physical quantities of the neutron-star crust. To investigate the above quantities, we numerically explore the pasta structure with a fully three-dimensional geometry and study the properties of low-density nuclear matter, based on the relativistic mean-field model and the Thomas-Fermi approximation. We observe typical pasta structures for fixed proton number fraction and two of them for cold catalyzed matter. We also discuss the crystalline configuration of ``pasta.''

Abstract

We study the hadron-quark mixed phase in protoneutron stars, where neutrinos are trapped and lepton number becomes a conserved quantity besides the baryon number and electric charge. Considering protoneutron-star matter as a ternary system, the Gibbs conditions are applied together with the Coulomb interaction. We find that there no crystalline (``pasta'') structure appears in the regime of high lepton-number fraction; the size of pasta becomes very large and the geometrical structure becomes mechanically unstable due to the charge screening effect. Consequently the whole system is separated into two bulk regions like an amorphous state, where the surface effect is safely neglected. There, the local charge neutrality is approximately attained, so that the equation of state is effectively reduced to the one for a binary system. Hence, we conclude that there is no possibility for the density discontinuity to appear in protoneutron-star matter, which is a specific feature in a pure system. These features are important when considering astrophysical phenomena such as supernova explosions or radiation of the gravitational wave from protoneutron stars.

Abstract

We propose a model based on quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) incorporated with a statistical decay model (SDM) to describe various nuclear reactions in a unified way. In this first part of the work, the basic ingredients of the model are defined and the model is applied systematically to the nucleon- (N-)induced reactions. It has been found that our model can give a remarkable agreement in the energy-angle double differential cross sections of (N,${\mathit{xN}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) type reactions for incident energies from 100 MeV to 3 GeV with a fixed parameter set. A unified description of the three major reaction mechanisms of (N,${\mathit{xN}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) reactions, i.e., compound, preequilibrium, and spallation processes, is given with our model.

Abstract

We study the hadron-quark phase transition, taking into account the finite-size effects for neutron star matter. For the hadron phase, we adopt a realistic equation of state within the framework of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock theory. For the quark phase, we apply the Dyson-Schwinger method. The properties of the mixed phase are clarified by considering the finite-size effects. We find that, if the surface tension is strong enough, the equation of state becomes to be close the one with the Maxwell condition, though we properly adopt the Gibbs conditions. This result is qualitatively the same with the one by the use of the simple bag model. We also find that the mass-radius relation by the EoS is consistent with the observations of massive neutron stars., Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, the proceeding for "Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics VI"
