Description
The account of correlations, in particular the formation of bound states at subsaturation densities, will modify the nuclear matter equation of state. Consequences for the composition and the symmetry energy are shown for parameter values (temperature, density, proton fraction) relevant for supernova explosions. The results of the quantum statistical approach are confronted with laboratory tests of the equation of state investigating heavy ion collisions.
