Hot and highly magnetized neutron star matter properties with Skyrme interactions

We study the properties of hot and dense neutron star matter under the presence of strong magnetic fields using two Skyrme interactions, namely the LNS and the BSk21 ones. Asking for $β$--stability and charge neutrality, we construct the equation of state of the system and analyze its composition for a range of densities, temperatures and magnetic field intensities of interest for the study of supernova and proto-neutron star matter, with a particular interest on the degree of spin-polarization of the different components. The results show that system configurations with larger fractions of spin up protons and spin down neutrons and electrons are energetically favored over those with larger fractions of spin down protons and spin up neutrons and electrons. The effective mass of neutrons and protons is found to be in general larger for the more abundant of their spin projection component, respectively, spin down neutrons and spin up protons. The effect of the magnetic field on the Helmhotz total free energy density, pressure and isothermal compressibility of the system is almost negligible for all the values of the magnetic field considered.

Asymmetry of the neutrino mean free path in hot neutron matter under strong magnetic fields

The neutrino mean free path in neutron matter under a strong magnetic field is evaluated for the inelastic scattering reaction and studied as a function of the neutron matter density in the range $0.05 \leq ρ\leq 0.4$ fm$^{-3}$ for several temperatures up to 30 MeV and magnetic field strengths B=0 G, $10^{18}$ G and $2.5\times 10^{18}$ G. Polarized neutron matter is described within the non--relativistic Brueckner--Hartree--Fock (BHF) approach using the Argonne V18 nucleon-nucleon potential supplemented with the Urbana IX three-nucleon force. Explicit expressions of the cross section per unit volume for the scattering of a neutrino with a spin up or spin down neutron are derived from the Fermi Golden rule. Our results show that the mean free path depends strongly on the angle of the incoming neutrino, leading to an asymmetry in this quantity. This asymmetry depends on the magnetic field intensity and on the density, but it is rather independent of the temperature. For a density of $0.16$ fm$^{-3}$ at a temperature T$=30$MeV, the asymmetry in the mean free path is found to be of $\sim 15\%$ for B=$10^{18}$G and $\sim 38\%$ for B=$2.5 \times 10^{18}$G.

Weak nonmesonic decay spectra of hypernuclei

We compute one- and two-nucleon kinetic-energy spectra and opening-angle distributions for the nonmesonic weak decay of several hypernuclei, and compare our results with some recent data. The decaymics is described by transition potentials of the one-meson-exchange type, and the nuclear structure aspects by two versions of the independent-particle shell model (IPSM). In version IPSM-a, the hole states are treated as stationary, while in version IPSM-b the deep hole states are considered to be quasi-stationary and are described by Breit-Wigner distributions.

Quasielastic Electron Scattering from Nuclei: Random-Phase vs. Ring Approximations

We investigate the extent to which the nuclear transverse response to electron scattering in the quasielastic region, evaluated in the random-phase approximation can be described by ring approximation calculations. Different effective interactions based on a standard model of the type g'+V_pi+V_rho are employed. For each momentum transfer, we have obtained the value of g'_0 permitting the ring response to match the position of the peak and/or the non-energy weighted sum rule provided by the random-phase approach has been obtained. It is found that, in general, it is not possible to reproduce both magnitudes simultaneously for a given g'_0 value.

On the role of the effective interaction in quasi-elastic electron scattering calculations

The role played by the effective residual interaction in the transverse nuclear response for quasi-free electron scattering is discussed. The analysis is done by comparing different calculations performed in the Random--Phase Approximation and Ring Approximation frameworks. The importance of the exchange terms in this energy region is investigated and the changes on the nuclear responses due to the modification of the interaction are evaluated. The calculated quasi-elastic responses show clear indication of their sensibility to the details of the interaction and this imposes the necessity of a more careful study of the role of the different channels of the interaction in this excitation region.
