AbstractTopology effects have being extensively studied and confirmed in strongly correlated condensed matter physics. In the limit of large number of colors, baryons can be regarded as topological objects—skyrmions—and the baryonic matter can be regarded as a skyrmion matter. We review in this paper the generalized effective field theory for dense compact-star matter constructed with the robust inputs obtained from the skyrmion approach to dense nuclear matter, relying on possible “emergent” scale and local flavor symmetries at high density. All nuclear matter properties from the saturation density n0 up to several times n0 can be fairly well described. A uniquely novel—and unorthdox—feature of this theory is the precocious appearance of the pseudo-conformal sound velocity $v^{2}_{s}/c^{2} \approx 1/3$ v s 2 / c 2 ≈ 1 / 3 , with the non-vanishing trace of the energy momentum tensor of the system. The topology change encoded in the density scaling of low energy constants is interpreted as the quark-hadron continuity in the sense of Cheshire Cat Principle (CCP) at density $\gtrsim 2n_{0}$ ≳ 2 n 0 in accessing massive compact stars. We confront the approach with the data from GW170817 and GW190425.

Comprehensive Framework

Experimental studies of hypernuclear dynamics, besides being essential for the understanding of strong interactions in the strange sector, have important astrophysical implications. The observation of neutron stars with masses exceeding two solar masses poses a serious challenge to the models of hyperon dynamics in dense nuclear matter, many of which predict a maximum mass incompatible with the data. In this paper, it is argued that valuable new insight can be gained from the forthcoming extension of the experimental studies of kaon electro production from nuclei to include the 208Pb(e,e′K+)Λ208Tl process. A comprehensive framework for the description of kaon electro production, based on factorization of the nuclear cross section and the formalism of the nuclear many-body theory, is outlined. This approach highlights the connection between the kaon production and proton knockout reactions, which will allow us to exploit the available 208Pb(e,e′p)207Tl data to achieve a largely model-independent analysis of the measured cross section.

Nuclear Models

In this paper, we investigate the cooling of neutron stars with relativistic and nonrelativistic models of dense nuclear matter. We focus on the effects of uncertainties originated from the nuclear models, the composition of elements in the envelope region, and the formation of superfluidity in the core and the crust of neutron stars. Discovery of [Formula: see text] neutron stars PSR J1614−2230 and PSR J0343[Formula: see text]0432 has triggered the revival of stiff nuclear equation of state at high densities. In the meantime, observation of a neutron star in Cassiopeia A for more than 10 years has provided us with very accurate data for the thermal evolution of neutron stars. Both mass and temperature of neutron stars depend critically on the equation of state of nuclear matter, so we first search for nuclear models that satisfy the constraints from mass and temperature simultaneously within a reasonable range. With selected models, we explore the effects of element composition in the envelope region, and the existence of superfluidity in the core and the crust of neutron stars. Due to uncertainty in the composition of particles in the envelope region, we obtain a range of cooling curves that can cover substantial region of observation data.

The HADES experiment, installed at GSI, Darmstadt, measures di-electron production in A + A, p/π + N and p/π + A collisions. Here, the π0 and η Dalitz decays have been reconstruced in the exclusive p + p reaction at 2.2 GeV to form a reference cocktail for long-lived di-electron sources. In the C + C reaction at 1 and 2 GeV/u, these long-lived sources have been subtracted from the measured inclusive e+e- yield to exhibit the signal from the early phase of the collision. The results suggest that resonances play an important role in dense nuclear matter.
