We report measurements of the neutron diffuse scattering in a single crystal of the relaxor ferroelectric material 95.5%Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-4.5%PbTiO3 (PZN-4.5%PT). We show that the diffuse scattering at high temperatures has a quasielastic…

Young, rapidly rotating neutron stars could accelerate protons to energies of $\sim 1$ PeV close to the stellar surface, which scatter with x-rays from the stellar surface through the $\Delta$ resonance and produce pions. The pions…
