Density Dependence of Nuclear Symmetry Energy

General Physics 2016-11-09 v1

Abstract

High density behaviour of nuclear symmetry energy is studied on the basis of a stiffest density dependence of asymmetric contribution to energy per nucleon in charge neutral n+p+e+μn+p+e+\mu matter under beta equilibrium. The density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy obtained in this way is neither very stiff nor soft at high densities and is found to be in conformity with recent observations of neutron stars
