Elastic proton-nucleus scattering in the Glauber-Sitenko approach and relativistic and nonrelativistic nuclear mean fields

TL;DR: In this article, the Glauber-Sitenko approach was used to analyze the elastic proton scattering on 40Ca and 208Pb nuclei at 800 MeV along with respective spin observables.

Exploring the limits of a hadronic picture of nuclei through pion and nucleon removal reactions

Wim Cosyn
TL;DR: A relativistic and quantum mechanical framework to compute nuclear transparencies for pion and nucleon production reactions is presented in this paper, which can account for the color transparency (CT) phenomenon and short-range correlations (SRC) in the nucleus.

The Relativistic Impulse Approximation

TL;DR: The impulse approximation as mentioned in this paper assumes that the interaction between the projectile and target nucleons has essentially the same form as the interactions between two nucleons in free space, which implies that the scattering is dominated by single-collision processes, and is most appropriate for scattering at medium energies and small scattering angles.

Probe the 2s(1/2) and 1d(3/2) state level inversion with electron-nucleus scattering

TL;DR: In this paper, the level inversion of the 2s1/2 and 1d3/2 proton states may occur for the magnesium, silicon, sulphur, and argon isotopes with more neutrons away from the stability line.

RMF models with $\sigma$-scaled hadron masses and couplings for description of heavy-ion collisions below 2A GeV

TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic mean-field framework with hadron masses and coupling constants dependent on the mean scalar field was used to study properties of nuclear matter at finite temperatures, baryon densities and isospin asymmetries.

On Massive neutron cores

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the gravitational equilibrium of masses of neutrons, using the equation of state for a cold Fermi gas, and general relativity, and showed that for masses under 1/3, there are no static equilibrium solutions.

Static Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations for Spheres of Fluid

TL;DR: In this article, a method is developed for treating Einstein's field equations, applied to static spheres of fluid, in such a manner as to provide explicit solutions in terms of known analytic functions.

On Continued Gravitational Contraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the solutions of the gravitational field equations which describe the contraction of a heavy star, and give general and qualitative arguments on the behavior of the metrical tensor as the contraction progresses.
