Properties of stellar matter in supernova explosions and nuclear multifragmentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
During the collapse of massive stars, and the supernova type-II explosions, stellar matter reaches densities and temperatures which are similar to the ones obtained in intermediate-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. The nuclear multifragmentation reactions can be used for determination of properties of nuclear matter at subnuclear densities, in the region of the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition. It is demonstrated that the modified properties of hot nuclei (in particular, their symmetry energy) extracted from the multifragmentation data can essentially influence nuclear composition of stellar matter. The effects on weak processes, and on the nucleosynthesis are also discussed.

Multifragmentation reactions and properties of hot stellar matter at sub-nuclear densities. Abstract We point out similarity of thermodynamic conditions reached in intermediate-energy nuclear collisions and in supernova explosions. We show that a statistical approach, which has been previously applied for nuclear multifragmentation reactions , can be very useful for description of the electro-n...
متن کاملFrom nuclear multifragmentation reactions to supernova explosions
In this talk I discuss properties of hot stellar matter at sub-nuclear densities which is formed in supernova explosions. I emphasize that thermodynamic conditions there are rather similar to those created in the laboratory by intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions. Theoretical methods developed for the description of multi-fragment final states in such reactions can be used also for descript...
متن کاملProduction of Hot Nuclei in Nuclear Reactions and Supernova Explosions
It is well established experimentally that highly excited nuclear systems with temperatures T > 3− 5 MeV can be formed in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions. Eventually they break up into many fragments with broad mass and charge distributions. These multifragmentation reactions have been intensively investigated in GSI and other world laboratories. It has also been established that a the...
متن کاملNeutrino Interactions with Nuclei and Dark Matter
Even though the combined laboratory, astrophysical and cosmological evidence implies that neutrinos have masses, neutrinos provide only a small cosmic dark matter component. The study of solar neutrinos provides important information on nuclear processes inside the Sun as well as on matter densities. Moreover, supernova neutrinos provide sensitive probes for studying supernova explosions, neutr...
متن کاملExplosions of O - Ne - Mg cores , the Crab supernova , and subluminous Type II - P supernovae
We present results of simulations of stellar collapse and explosions in spherical symmetry for progenitor stars in the 8–10 M⊙ range with an O-Ne-Mg core. The simulations were continued until nearly one second after core bounce and were performed with the P/V code with a variable Eddington factor solver for the neutrino transport, including a state-of-the-art treatment of neutrino...
