Nuclear effects in electron-nucleus and neutrino-nucleus scattering within a relativistic quantum mechanical framework

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the description of the knockout nucleon wave function on electron- and neutrino-induced quasielastic and single-pion production cross sections was studied in a fully relativistic and quantum mechanical framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward a unified equation of state for multi-messenger astronomy

TL;DR: In this paper, a Lagrangian approach to the thermodynamic potential of quark-meson-nucleon matter was used to develop a benchmark equation-of-state model for multi-messenger astronomy that unifies the thermodynamics of quarks and hadronic degrees of freedom.

Hadron production in non-linear relativistic mean field models

TL;DR: In this paper, a parametrization of the non-linear Walecka model which takes into account the binding energy of different hyperons is presented, and particle production yields measured in central Au-Au collision at RHIC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards the hadron–quark continuity via a topology change in compact stars

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized effective field theory approach to dense compact-star matter is presented, which exploits the Cheshire Cat Principle for hadron-quark continuity at high density, adhering only to hadronic degrees of freedom, hidden topology and hidden symmetries of QCD.

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.
