Proton-rich nucleosynthesis and nuclear physics
Although the detailed conditions for explosive nucleosynthesis are derived from astrophysical modeling, nuclear physics determines fundamental patterns in abundance yields, not only for equilibrium processes. Focussing on the νpand the γ-process, general nucleosynthesis features within the range of astrophysical models, but (mostly) independent of details in the modelling, are presented. Remain...
متن کاملElectron fraction constraints based on nuclear statistical equilibrium with beta equilibrium
The electron-to-nucleon ratio or electron fraction is a key parameter in many astrophysical studies. Its value is determined by weakinteraction rates that are based on theoretical calculations subject to several nuclear physics uncertainties. Consequently, it is important to have a model independent way of constraining the electron fraction value in different astrophysical environments. Here we...
متن کاملNon equilibrium statistical mechanics
In part I of these lecture notes, I introduce the basic tools of non equilibrium statistical mechanics: linear response, Brownian motion, Langevin equation, (Pauli) master equation. Part II is devoted to a derivation of quantum master equations from the Schrödinger equation, and to some of their applications to quantum optics and to Brownian motion. Finally, in part III, I examine more recent d...
متن کاملEquilibrium Statistical Mechanics
Classical Statistical Mechanics studies properties of macroscopic aggregates of particles, atoms and molecules, based on the assumption that they are point masses subject to the laws of classical mechanics. Distinction between macroscopic and microscopic is evanescent and in fact the foundations of statistical mechanics have been laid on properties, proved or assumed, of few particles systems. ...
متن کاملCovariant Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
A manifest covariant equilibrium statistical mechanics is constructed starting with a 8N dimensional extended phase space which is reduced to the 6N physical degrees of freedom using the Poincaré-invariant constrained Hamiltonian dynamics describing the micro-dynamics of the system. The reduction of the extended phase space is initiated forcing the particles on energy shell and fixing their ind...
