Relativistic Mean Field

For the nuclear many body problem at high densities, formulated in the framework of a relativistic mean-field theory, we investigate in detail the compression modulus of nuclear matter as a function of the effective nucleon mass. We include consistently in our modelling chemical equilibrium as well as baryon number and electric charge conservation and investigate properties of neutron stars. Among other predictions we focus on the dependence of the maximum mass of a sequence of neutron stars as a function of the compression modulus and the nucleon effective mass.

Specific Choice

We investigate static properties of nuclear and neutron star matter by using a relativistic mean field theory with parametrized couplings. With a suitable choice of mathematical parameters, the couplings allow one to reproduce results of current quantum hadrodynamics models. For other parametrizations, a better description of bulk properties of nuclear matter is obtained. The formalism is extended to include hyperon and lepton degrees of freedom, and an analysis on the effects of the phenomenological couplings in the fermion populations and mass of neutron stars is performed. The results show a strong similarity between the predictions of ZM-like models and those with exponential couplings. We have observed in particular an extreme sensibility of the predictions of these theories on the specific choice of the values of the binding energy of nuclear matter and saturation density. Additionally, the role of the very intense scalar meson mean field found in the interior of neutron stars in the screening of the nucleon mass is discussed.

Rmf Model

The microscopic properties and superfluidity of the inner crust in neutron stars are investigated in the framework of the relativistic mean field(RMF) model and BCS theory. The Wigner-Seitz(W-S) cell of inner crust is composed of neutron-rich nuclei immersed in a sea of dilute, homogeneous neutron gas. The pairing properties of nucleons in the W-S cells are treated in BCS theory with Gogny interaction. In this work, we emphasize on the choice of the boundary conditions in the RMF approach and superfluidity of the inner crust. Three kinds of boundary conditions are suggested. The properties of the W-S cells with the three kinds of boundary conditions are investigated. The neutron density distributions in the RMF and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) models are compared.

Qualitative Analyses

The halo structures in some light nuclei are investigated systemically with the nuclear asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) method and the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory. Some important results about the halo structures in mirror nuclei are obtained, and some qualitative analyses are made to explore the role of Coulomb effects on the formation of proton halo nuclei.
