  5. Many models predict that the symmetry energy first increases and then decreases above certain supra-saturation densities. The symmetry energymay even become negative at high densities. According to Xiao et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 062502 (2009)), constrained by the recent terrestrial nuclear laboratory data, the nuclear matter could be described by a super softer EOS — MDIx1. 1.

  7. Non-Newtonian Gravity and weakly interacting light boson The inverse square-law (ISL) of gravity is expected to be violated, especially at less length scales. The deviation from the ISL can be characterized effectively by adding a Yukawa term to the normal gravitational potential In the scalar/vector boson (U-boson ) exchange picture, and Within the mean-field approximation, the extra energy density and the pressure due to the Yukawa term is • E.

  11. Constraints on the coupling strength by the stability and observed global properties of neutron stars

  12. Conclusion • It is shown that the super-soft nuclear symmetry energy preferred by the FOPI/GSI experimental data can support neutron stars stably if the non-Newtonian gravity is considered; • Observations of pulsars constrain the g2/2 in a rough range of 50~150 GeV-2.

  15. The EOS of nuclear matters with a super-soft symmetry energy (e.g., the original gogny-Hartree-Fock) predicts maximum neutron star masses significantly below 1.4 Msun. The MDIx1 EOS only can support a maximum stellar mass about 0.1Msun, far smaller than the observ-ational pulsar masses. MDIx1: the symmetric part is described by MDI (Momentum-dependent-interaction) and the symmetry energy is described by the orignal Gogny-hartree-Fock model.

  16. According to Fujii, the Yukawa term is simply part of the matter system in general relativity. Therefore, only the EOS is modified and the structure equation (TOV equations) remains the same.

  19. The effect of U-boson on nuclear matter EOS depends on the ratio between the coupling strength and the boson mass squared g2/2, and thus influence the structure of neutron stars. While the coupling between the U-boson ( <1MeV) and the baryons is very weak, U-bosons do not modify observational result of nuclear structure and heavy-ion collisions. M.I.

  20. The value of the isospin asymmetry δ at β equilibrium is determined by the chemical equilibrium and charge neutrality conditions, i.e., δ = 1 − 2xp with
