Incompressibility of neutron - rich matter
The saturation properties of neutron-rich matter are investigated in a relativistic mean-field formalism using two accurately calibrated models: NL3 and FSUGold. The saturation properties—density, binding energy per nucleon, and incompressibility coefficient—are calculated as a function of the neutron-proton asymmetry α ≡ (N − Z)/A to all orders in α. Good agreement (at the 10% level or better)...
متن کاملTheoretical understanding of the nuclear incompressibility : where do we stand ?
The status of the theoretical research on the compressional modes of finite nuclei and the incompressibility K∞ of nuclear matter, is reviewed. It is argued that the recent experimental data on the Isoscalar Giant Monopole Resonance (ISGMR) allow extracting the value of K∞ with an uncertainity of about ± 12 MeV. Non-relativistic (Skyrme, Gogny) and relativistic mean field models predict for K∞ ...
متن کاملWhat Do We Know, What Do We Understand?
In this talk I summarize the topics addressed during the conference. We have discussed the most relevant cosmological observations of the last say 10 years and their implications for our understanding of the Universe. My finding throughout this meeting has been that it is amazing how our knowledge of cosmological parameters has improved during the last years. It comes as a surprise to many, tha...
متن کاملHow Do We Understand the Coriolis Force?
The Coriolis force, named after French mathematician Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis (1792–1843), has traditionally been derived as a matter of coordinate transformation by an essentially kinematic technique. This has had the consequence that its physical significance for processes in the atmosphere, as well for simple mechanical systems, has not been fully comprehended. A study of Coriolis’s own s...
متن کاملDo We Understand the Sphaleron Rate?
I begin by answering a different question, “Do we know the sphaleron rate?” and conclude that we do. Then I discuss a crude but purely analytic picture which provides an estimate of the sphaleron rate within the context of Bödeker’s effective theory. The estimate, which comes surprisingly close to the numerically determined sphaleron rate, gives a physical picture of baryon number violation in ...
