TL;DR: In this paper, the Bethe-Brueckner-Goldstone expansion of pure neutron matter at zero temperature is calculated up to the three hole-line level of approximation.

••
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that thermal and chemical equilibrium are approached during the high density stage in central nucleus-nucleus collisions and that the yield of produced pions is determined at that time.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of parton energy loss and broadening in cold nuclear matter on the suppression of high-energy p-A collisions were investigated, and the very good agreement between the data and the theoretical expectations further supports p�-broadening and the associated medium-induced parton EE loss as dominant effects in J/ψ suppression in high energy p-Pb collisions at the LHC.
Abstract: The effects of parton energy loss and p
⊥-broadening in cold nuclear matter on the p
⊥ and centrality dependence, at various rapidities, of J/ψ suppression in p-A collisions are investigated. Calculations are systematically compared to E866 and PHENIX measurements. The very good agreement between the data and the theoretical expectations further supports p
⊥-broadening and the associated medium-induced parton energy loss as dominant effects in J/ψ suppression in high-energy p-A collisions. Predictions for J/ψ (and $ \varUpsilon $
) suppression in p-Pb collisions at the LHC are given.

TL;DR: It is argued that standard descriptions of stellar collapse omit the primary mechanism for dissipative neutrino reactions in nuclear matter, nuclear excitation by neutral-current scattering.
Abstract: I argue that standard descriptions of stellar collapse omit the primary mechanism for dissipative neutrino reactions in nuclear matter, nuclear excitation by neutral-current scattering. The nuclear heating rate, due to primarily to muon- and tauon-neutrino excitation of giant resonance states, is on the order of 90 MeV/nucleon sec at a radius of 100 km. I discuss possible effects of both neutral- and charged-current neutrino heating in models of stellar collapse.

TL;DR: By fixing the three parameters of the model to reproduce the binding and symmetry energy of nuclear matter, it is found that it allows a very satisfactory interpretation of the Skyrme force.
Abstract: We formulate the quark meson coupling model as a many-body effective Hamiltonian. This leads naturally to the appearance of many-body forces. We investigate the zero range limit of the model and compare its Hartree-Fock Hamiltonian to that corresponding to the Skyrme effective force. By fixing the three parameters of the model to reproduce the binding and symmetry energy of nuclear matter, we find that it allows a very satisfactory interpretation of the Skyrme force.
