Quantum rearrangement and self-consistent BCS-BEC crossover thermodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, analytical calculational procedures for dealing with strongly interacting fermion ground state are further developed through a medium-dependent potential in terms of the Bethe-Peierls contact interaction model.

Relativistic mean field approach to the scattering of antinucleons and nucleons by nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, a mean field approach based on the Walecka theory for nuclear matter is used to derive the optical potential for nucleon and antinucleon-nucleus systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metastability of dense neutron matter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors formulate a theory of metastability of dense neutron matter with respect to the first-order phase transition to a pion-condensed state, based on the idea of nucleation of the pioncondensed phase in the metastable normal matter through the appearance of spontaneously growing drops of the new phase.

Relativistic mean-field theory equation of state of neutron star matter and a Maxwellian phase transition to strange quark matter

G. B. Alaverdyan
- 26 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of the variations in the parameters of the phase transition owing to the presence of a δ -meson field is made, in which interactions between quarks are accounted for in a one-gluon exchange approximation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Information and statistics: a new paradigm in theoretical nuclear physics

TL;DR: In this article, a Gaussian approximation to the likelihood function is used to develop a relativistic effective interaction constrained by ground-state properties of finite nuclei, their monopole response, and masses of neutron stars.

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.
