Parallel session strangeness in astrophysics
In a recent letter, Physics Letters B 767 (2017) 247–252, we presented a an SU(2) NJL model with a coupling wich depends on the magnetic field in order to calculate the neutral pion mass at T = 0. In this work, we improve our model by adding the strange quark, the Polyakov loop and finite temperature. We then build a thermomagnetic dependence for the G and K couplings of the SU(3) PNJL...
The aim of our work is to develop a unified equation of state (EoS) for nuclear and quark matter for a wide range in temperature, density and isospin so that it becomes applicable for heavy-ion collisions as well as for the astrophysics of neutron stars, their mergers and supernova explosions. As a first step, we use improved EoS for the hadronic and quark matter phases and join them via...
Recently the CERN ALICE experiment, in its dedicated cosmic ray run, observed muon bundles of very high multiplicities, thereby confirming similar findings from the LEP era at CERN (in the CosmoLEP project). Originally it was argued that they apparently stem from the primary cosmic rays with a heavy masses.
We propose an alternative possibility arguing that muonic bundles of highest...
One hundred years after Albert Einstein developed the field equations of general relativity and predicted the existence of gravitational waves (GWs), these curious spacetime-ripples have been observed from a pair of merging black holes by the LIGO detectors. As GWs emitted from merging neutron star binaries are on the verge of their first detection, it is important to understand the main...
