25 LDP - HDP transition 6 Mechanical stability requires dp dn But, in the transition from LDP to HDP, pressure decreases (negative incompressibility).

28 Subnuclear Regime C. Constantinou The Complete Equation of State

29 in Subnuclear Regime Lattimer-Swesty approach (Nucl. Phys. A 535, 33 (99)): F total = F N + F α + F bulk + F e + F γ Single representative species of heavy nucleus; described by the compressible liquid-drop model: F N = F bulk,in + F s + F C + F tr. F S - Semi-infinite matter in TF approximation; curvature and neutron skin ignored. F C = 4 5 πe xin n inr N D(u); D(u) = 3 u/3 + u (point + lattice + finite size) { [ ] } F tr = u( u)n in h(t )T ln A u( u)n in n Q A 5/ (massive non-interacting point particles w/ modifications) α-particles represent light nuclei; treated as non-interacting Boltzmann gas having hard sphere interactions with nuclei: F α = ( u)n αf α Nucleons have hard-sphere interactions with α s and nuclei: F bulk = ( u)( v αn α)n outf bulk Pasta : Use smooth generalized functions which modify F C and F S appropriately. C. Constantinou The Complete Equation of State

30 in Subnuclear Regime To find tbe equilibrium state of the system, F total must be minimized with respect to nuclear radius r, proton fraction x in, nucleon density n in, volume occupied by nuclei u, and density of α-particles n α: F r = (nuclear size optimization) F x in = (chemical equilibrium) un in n in u F n in F = u (pressure equilibrium) F n α = (chemical equil. of α s with nucleons) Constraints: n = un in + ( u)[4n α + (n n,out + n p,out)( n αv α)] (baryon # conservation) ny e = ux in n in + ( u)[n α + n p,out( n αv α)] (charge conservation) C. Constantinou The Complete Equation of State

31 in Subnuclear Regime Advantages: Issues: Thermodynamic consistency. Consistent treatment of matter inside and outside nuclei. Separation of bulk and surface effects. Relatively low demand for computational resources. Collective motion and related thermal effects in nuclear dissociation regime. Processes sensitive to the full ensemble of nuclei present in the inhomogeneous phase. C. Constantinou The Complete Equation of State

34 Conclusions EOS at finite T with consistent treatment of the subnuclear regime and of the transition to a pion-condensed phase (almost) ready; to serve as a benchmark for other nonrelativistic calculations. The nucleon effective mass m is crucial in the determination of thermal effects in the bulk homogeneous phase. The thermal and the adiabatic indices Γ th and Γ S depend weakly on composition and temperature but their density dependence especially in the neighborhood of the saturation density of SNM cannot be ignored. Future: Apply LS to MFTs and models w/ finite-range interactions; comparison with the Shen EOS, Phys. Rev. C 83, 358 (). Better treatment of nuclear properties (e.g. HFB description of heavy nuclei, etc.). SN, PNS, BM simulations using (the correct). C. Constantinou The Complete Equation of State
