  4. The Equation of State (EOS) of Nuclear Matter • The equation of state (EOS) of asymmetric nuclear matter have long been realized as acrucial parameter to understand the structural properties of neutron-rich nuclei and neutron stars. • At saturation density, the EOS of pure neutron matter is useful to extract information on the symmetry energy and its slope. • The behavior of the EOS of nuclear matter extremely depends on both nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions and calculation methods.

  6. The method of calculation of EOS • Bethe-Brueckner-Goldstone (BBG) • The Coupled Cluster (CC) expansion • The self-consistent Green’s function (SCGF) • Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) • Different methods based on Monte-Carlo (MC) • The renormalization group (RG) • Lowest order constrained variational (LOCV)

  7. Lowest order constrained variational (LOCV) • The LOCV method has been used to investigate the EOS of asymmetric nuclear matter. • This equation of state is derived from an accurate many-body calculation and is based on the cluster expansion of the energy functional.

  14. Argonne family potentials … • AV6′ • After eliminating spin-orbit terms from AV8′ and reformulated it to maintain the deuteron binding, AV6′ is acquired. • Tensor terms of AV6′ is remained the same as AV8′, and the subtracting of the AV8′ spin-orbit potential’s radial function from the central potential in the ST = 10 channel caused to built the central potential AV6′ as: R.

  18. Symmetry energy • The symmetry energy, Esym(ρ) is given by difference between the energy per baryon of pure neutron matter and the energy per baryon of infinite symmetric nuclear matter with equal number of proton and neutron. • Symmetry energy is very important quantity for studying the nuclear and astrophysical related problems. • Applications: • Mechanism of stability and neutron skin thickness of very neutron rich nuclei. • Reaction pathways and abundances of heavy neutron- rich nuclei produced during r-process nucleosynthesis supernova evolution. • The core-crust transition in neutron stars. • Threshold density of the kaon condensation. • The structure of neutron stars (the maximum masses and radii)

  23. Symmetry energy … • Gandolfi and et al. studied the correlation between the neutron star radius and the symmetry energy.
