Necessary in hydrodynamic simulations of supernova explosions µ T µν =, T µν = pg µν + wu µ u ν + τ µν and neutron star structure calculations m(r) = 4π r ɛ(r )r 2 dr dp dr = (ɛ + p)[gm(r) + 4πGr 3 p] r[r 2Gm(r)] (interior mass) (hydrostatic equilibrium)

4 EOS Laboratory Constraints At saturation density (n =.16 ±.1 fm 3 ): Compression modulus, K = 23 ± 3 MeV (giant monopole resonances) Energy per particle, E/A = 16 ± 1 MeV (fits to masses of atomic nuclei) Symmetry energy, S 2 = 3 35 MeV (fits to masses of atomic nuclei, GDR) Slope of S 2, L = 4 7 MeV (variety of experiments) Effective mass, M /M =.8 ± 1 (neutron evaporation spectra)

5 EOS Constraints from Neutron Stars Largest observed mass, (binaries) M = 2.1 ±.4 M Largest observed frequency, Ω = 114 rad/s (pulsars) Inferred radius range, 1 km R 12.5 km (photospheric emission, thermal spectra)... Solution of Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equations and EOS predicts M max, R max, I max, Ω max, etc.

22 MDI: Motivation Single particle potential, U NR (n, p) p 2 U RMFT (n, ε) ε; inconsistent with optical model fits to nucleon-nucleus scattering data. Microscopic calculations (RBHF, variational calculations, etc.) show distinctly different behaviors in their momentum dependence, consistent with optical model fits. The above features were found necessary to account for heavy-ion data on transverse momentum and energy flow (in conjuction with K 23 MeV).

28 Finite Temperature: Exact Self-consistency problem: R(n, p) requires R(n, p ) for all p. Iterative numerical procedure adopted similar Hartree-Fock theory: ε = H 1. Initial guess: R o = R(T = ). Then get ɛ o = p2 2m + U(n) + Ro (n, p). 2. Use ɛ o in n = 2 d 3 p 3. Use ɛ o, µ o to get R e ɛ µ T to get µ o. 4. Repeat until sufficient convergence is achieved. s = 2 d 3 p[f p ln f p + (1 f p ) ln(1 f p )] P = ε + Ts + µn

29 Finite Temperature: Limits Degenerate Limit : Use FLT Non-Degenerate Limit Assume R (n, p ) = in the calculation of R(n, p). Expand thermodynamic integrals about z =. Then use steepest descent method to evaluate resulting exponential integrals: g(x)e f (x) dx = 2πg(x f (xo) o)e f (x o ) { [ f (3) (x o ) f (x o ) 3/2 + 1 g (x o ) 2g(x o ) f (x o ) 1 2g(x o ) ] 2 1 f (4) (x o ) 8 f (x o ) 2 g (x o )f (3) (x o ) f (x o ) 2 }
