Equations of State for Hadronic Matter and Mass-Radius Relations of Neutron Stars with Strong Magnetic Fields

Neutron star is an important object for us to verify the equation of state of hadronic matter. For a specific choice of equations of state, mass and radius of a neutron star are determined, for which there are constraints from observations. According to some previous studies, since the strong magnetic field acts as a repulsive force, there is a possibility that neutron stars with strong magnetic fields may have relatively heavier masses than other non-magnetized neutron stars. In this paper, the structure of a neutron star with a strong internal magnetic field is investigated by changing its internal functional form to see how much the neutron star can be massive and also how radius of a neutron star can be within a certain range.

Far from equilibrium Chiral Magnetic Effect in Strong Magnetic Fields from Holography

We study the real time evolution of the chiral magnetic effect out-ofequilibrium in strongly coupled anomalous field theories. We match the parameters of our model to QCD parameters and draw lessons of possible relevance for the realization of the chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions. In particular, we find an equilibration time of about ~ 0:35 fm/c in presence of the chiral anomaly for plasma temperatures of order T ~ 300 - 400 MeV.

IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF MACHINE PARTS BASED ON THE COMBINED INFLUENCE OF STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS

Magnetic treatment is a promising method of hardening. Metal exposed to alternating magnetic fields changes the performance properties of the surface layer of a combination of magnetic and ultrasonic effects, provides a combined method of processing and strengthening surfaces of machine parts, which eliminates the main disadvantages of magnetic and electrical hardening — instability of physical and mechanical properties of this layer with detail. The purpose of the work is to investigate the possibility of improving the performance of machine parts based on the combined effect of strong magnetic fields. The study of the use of a uniform flux of magnetic fields generated by powerful permanent magnets was performed to affect the material volume of non-grinding plates of the cutting tool CNMG_120508E-M. The effect of uniform magnetic flux is initiated as a result of resonant oscillations of the sample caused by broadband exposure of equal amplitude by means of a "white noise" generator and a piezo emitter. The authors found that as a result of volumetric strengthening of non-grinding plates of carbide cutting tools, by exposure to polyfrequency oscillations in the form of a broadband frequency spectrum of equal amplitudes, a significant reduction in dimensional wear of the plates is achieved. Adding mechanical vibrations to the samples in a uniform constant magnetic field allowed to achieve volumetric hardening of the samples from 150 HB to 240 ÷ 250 HB, ie 60 ÷ 65% in 10—12 minutes, which is the hardening of the samples by 5—6% in one minute. The work on determining the relationship of changing properties with processing time, frequency range, amplitude and other modes to find the optimal values ​​of processing parameters, has great prospects for the ability to obtain a set of performance characteristics, control external and internal properties of products.

Surface discharge during electrical explosion of conductors in strong magnetic fields

In experiments on the electrical explosion of conductors in rapidly growing mega-Gaussian magnetic fields, it was found that at the initial stage of the explosion, “hot spots” up to 500 pieces/mm2 were recorded on the surface. At a later stage, a plasma layer was formed on the surface of the conductor, in which filaments, that is, current channels, were formed. In this work, on the basis of the ecton theory, a model of the development of a surface discharge is constructed. The model makes it possible to estimate, firstly, the magnitude of the current flowing through the surface plasma, and secondly, the thickness of the plasma layer.
