Nucleon-nucleon correlations, short-lived excitations, and the quarks within

O Hen, GA Miller, E Piasetzky, LB Weinstein - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
This article reviews our current understanding of how the internal quark structure of a
nucleon bound in nuclei differs from that of a free nucleon. The interpretation of …

Modified structure of protons and neutrons in correlated pairs

Nature, 2019 - nature.com
The atomic nucleus is made of protons and neutrons (nucleons), which are themselves
composed of quarks and gluons. Understanding how the quark–gluon structure of a nucleon …

Towards understanding astrophysical effects of nuclear symmetry energy

BA Li, PG Krastev, DH Wen, NB Zhang - The European Physical Journal A, 2019 - Springer
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 …

Probing cold dense nuclear matter

R Subedi, R Shneor, P Monaghan, BD Anderson… - Science, 2008 - science.org
The protons and neutrons in a nucleus can form strongly correlated nucleon pairs.
Scattering experiments, in which a proton is knocked out of the nucleus with high …

Probing high-momentum protons and neutrons in neutron-rich nuclei

Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The atomic nucleus is one of the densest and most complex quantum-mechanical systems
in nature. Nuclei account for nearly all the mass of the visible Universe. The properties of …

Measures of complexity and entanglement in many-fermion systems

A Bulgac, M Kafker, I Abdurrahman - Physical Review C, 2023 - APS
There is no unique and widely accepted definition of the complexity measure (CM) of a
many-fermion wave function in the presence of interactions. The simplest many-fermion …

Maximum mass and radius of neutron stars, and the nuclear symmetry energy

S Gandolfi, J Carlson, S Reddy - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2012 - APS
We calculate the equation of state of neutron matter with realistic two-and three-nucleon
interactions using quantum Monte Carlo techniques and illustrate that the short-range three …
