Towards understanding astrophysical effects of nuclear symmetry energy
Determining the Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nuclear matter is a shared
goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Except possible phase transitions, the density …

Symmetry parameter constraints from a lower bound on neutron-matter energy
We propose the existence of a lower bound on the energy of pure neutron matter (PNM) on
the basis of unitary-gas considerations. We discuss its justification from experimental studies …

Evidence for a maximum mass cut-off in the neutron star mass distribution and constraints on the equation of state
We infer the mass distribution of neutron stars in binary systems using a flexible Gaussian
mixture model and use Bayesian model selection to explore evidence for multimodality and …

Transport-theoretical description of nuclear reactions
In this review we first outline the basics of transport theory and its recent generalization to off-
shell transport. We then present in some detail the main ingredients of any transport method …

Composition and thermodynamics of nuclear matter with light clusters
S Typel, G Röpke, T Klähn, D Blaschke… - Physical Review C …, 2010 - APS
We investigate nuclear matter at a finite temperature and density, including the formation of
light clusters up to the α particle (1⩽ A⩽ 4). The novel feature of this work is to include the …

Recent progress and new challenges in isospin physics with heavy-ion reactions
The ultimate goal of studying isospin physics via heavy-ion reactions with neutron-rich,
stable and/or radioactive nuclei is to explore the isospin dependence of in-medium nuclear …
