Measuring neutron skin by grazing isobaric collisions

چکیده

Neutron skin thickness ($\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}{r}_{\mathrm{np}}$) of nuclei and the inferred nuclear symmetry energy are critical importance to physics astrophysics. It is traditionally measured by processes with significant theoretical uncertainties. We recently proposed an indirect measurement $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}{r}_{\mathrm{np}}$ charged hadron multiplicities in central isobaric collisions at relativistic energies, which sensitive densities. In this Letter, we propose a direct using net-charge ultraperipheral (grazing) those isobars, under assumption that they simple superimposition nucleon-nucleon interactions. illustrate novel approach trento urqmd models.

A Finite Element Approximation of Grazing Collisions

In this article, we propose a finite element discretization of the Boltzmann-Lorentz operator for which it is possible to define a grazing collision limit. We illustrate this discretization by considering the evolution of a system of particles in a slab, subject to collisions both with the boundaries and with themselves. A comparison is made with isotropic collisions or with the Laplace-Beltram...

Neutron Reflectivity and Grazing Angle Diffraction

Over the last 10 years, neutron reflectivity has emerged as a powerful technique for the investigation of surface and interfacial phenomena in many different fields. In this paper, a short review of some of the work on neutron reflectivity and grazing-angle diffraction as well as a description of the current and planned neutron rcflectometers at NIST is presented. Specific examples of the chara...

Handheld Isobaric Aesthesiometer for Measuring Two-point Discrimination

Two Point Discrimination test is notorious for their unexplained variations within subjects, between subjects, and between studies. This paper presents a systematic study of these variations and proposes a simple design to control the variations, thereby improving the TPD measurement accuracies. In the proposed Isobaric Aesthesiometer, monofilaments are used replacing the rigid prongs in a hand...

Nuclear symmetry energy probed by neutron skin thickness of nuclei.

We describe a relation between the symmetry energy coefficients c(sym)(rho) of nuclear matter and a(sym)(A) of finite nuclei that accommodates other correlations of nuclear properties with the low-density behavior of c(sym)(rho). Here, we take advantage of this relation to explore the prospects for constraining c(sym)(rho) of systematic measurements of neutron skin sizes across the mass table, ...

Conservative Deterministic Spectral Boltzmann Solver near the grazing collisions limit

We present new results building on the conservative deterministic spectral method for the space homogeneous Boltzmann equation developed by Gamba and Tharkabhushaman. This approach is a two-step process that acts on the weak form of the Boltzmann equation, and uses the machinery of the Fourier transform to reformulate the collisional integral into a weighted convolution in Fourier space. A cons...
