Nonmesonic weak decay of Λ hypernuclei: The three-nucleon induced mode by E. Bauer, G. Garbarino, C.A. Rodríguez Peña

“…The nonmesonic weak decay of Λ hypernuclei is studied within a microscopic diagrammatic approach which is extended to include the three-nucleon induced mechanism. We adopt a nuclear matter formalism which, through the local density approximation, allows us to model finite hypernuclei, a one-meson-exchange weak transition potential and a Bonn nucleon–nucleon strong potential. …”

The experiment PANDA: physics with antiprotons at FAIR by Boca Gianluigi

“…A variety of physics topics will be covered with PANDA, for example: the formation or production of exotic non-qqbar charm meson states connected to the recently observed XYZ spectrum; the study of gluon-rich matter, such as glueballs and hybrids; the spectroscopy of the excited states of strange and charm baryons, their production cross section and their spin correlations; the behaviour of hadrons in nuclear matter; the hypernuclear physics; the electromagnetic proton form factors in the timelike region. …”

Superfluid flow above the critical velocity by A. Paris-Mandoki, J. Shearring, F. Mancarella, T. M. Fromhold, A. Trombettoni, P. Krüger

“…Abstract Superfluidity and superconductivity have been widely studied since the last century in many different contexts ranging from nuclear matter to atomic quantum gases. The rigidity of these systems with respect to external perturbations results in frictionless motion for superfluids and resistance-free electric current flow in superconductors. …”

Flavor hierarchy of parton energy loss in quark-gluon plasma from a Bayesian analysis by Wen-Jing Xing, Shanshan Cao, Guang-You Qin

“…We find that the average parton energy loss at high energies follows the expected hierarchy of 〈ΔEg〉>〈ΔEq〉∼〈ΔEc〉>〈ΔEb〉, while the parton energy loss distribution can further test the QCD calculations of parton interaction with the dense nuclear matter. We also find that the reduction of experimental uncertainties can significantly improve the precision of the extracted parton energy loss functions inside the QGP.…”

Impact of different components of the Skyrme nucleon–nucleon effective interaction on the nuclear density distribution by W. M. Seif, A. S. Hashem

“…Abstract We systematically investigate the impact of the different terms of the Skyrme energy density functional of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, and of its associated nuclear matter (NM) properties, on the density distributions of spherical nuclei. …”

Mapping Topology of Skyrmions and Fractional Quantum Hall Droplets to Nuclear EFT for Ultra-Dense Baryonic Matter by Mannque Rho

“…The theory constructed is found to be consistent with no conflicts with the presently available observations in both normal nuclear matter and compact-star matter. The hidden symmetries involved are “local flavor symmetry” of the vector mesons identified to be (Seiberg-)dual to the gluons of QCD and hidden “quantum scale symmetry” with an IR fixed point with a “genuine dilaton (GD)” characterized by non-vanishing pion and dilaton decay constants. …”

Strange Hadron Production in Au+Au Collisions at √SNN = 54.4 GeV by Huang Yan

“…As a sensitive probe to the transition from the hadron gas to the Quark-Gluon Plasma, the particle ratios of strange hadrons are measured to study the properties of nuclear matter. Recently, the production of strange hadrons (KS0, Λ, Ξ, Ω, and ϕ)$\left({K_S^0,\Lambda ,\Xi ,\Omega ,\,{\rm{and}}\,\phi } \right)$(KS0,Λ,Ξ,Ω, and ϕ) at mid-rapidity (|y|<0.5) in Au+Au collisions at √SNN = 54.4 GeV$\sqrt {{S_{{\rm{NN}}}}} = 54.4\,{\rm{GeV}}$SNN=54.4 GeV were measured by the STAR experiment at RHIC. …”

Weighing massive neutron star with screening gravity: a look on PSR J0740 + 6620 and GW190814 secondary component by Rafael C. Nunes, Jaziel G. Coelho, José C. N. de Araujo

“…Abstract Neutron stars (NSs) are excellent natural laboratories to constrain gravity on strong field regime and nuclear matter in extreme conditions. Motivated by the recent discovery of a compact object with $$2.59^{+0.08}_{-0.09} M_\odot $$ 2 . 59 - 0.09 + 0.08 M ⊙ in the binary merger GW190814, if this object was a NS, it serves as a strong constraint on the NS equation of state (EoS), ruling out several soft EoSs favored by GW170817 event. …”

Λ⁎(1405)-matter: Stable or unstable? by J. Hrtánková, N. Barnea, E. Friedman, A. Gal, J. Mareš, M. Schäfer

“…The central density of Λ⁎ matter is found to saturate as well, at roughly twice nuclear matter density. Moreover, it is shown that the underlying very strong K¯N potentials, fitted for isospin I=0 to the mass and width values of Λ⁎(1405), fail to reproduce values of single-nucleon absorption fractions deduced across the periodic table from K− capture-at-rest bubble chamber experiments. …”
