1 Toward a unified description of equilibrium and dynamics of neutron star matter Omar Benhar INFN and Department of Physics Sapienza Università di Roma I Roma, Italy Based on work done in collaboration with A. Carbone, A. Cipollone, G. De Rosi, C. Losa, and A. Lovato Workshop on Dense Matter Physics INT, Seattle, July 14-18, 2014
2 Motivation & Outline The validity of the models of neutron star matter must be gauged beyond their ability to predict acceptable values of M & R Need a unified approach providing a consistent description of EOS transport properties neutrino interactions supefulid gap... The paradigm of nuclear many-body theory ab initio approach effective interaction approach bridging the gap: effective interactions from the ab inito approach Summary & Outlook Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
3 The paradigm of nuclear many-body theory Nuclear matter is described as a collection of pointlike protons and neutrons interacting through the hamiltonian p 2 i H = 2m + v ij + i j>i k>j>i It has long been realized that the independent particle or mean field approximation, which amounts to replacing v ij + V ijk U i, j>i k>j>i i V ijk fails to take into account the effects of nucleon-nucleon correlations, which are known to play an important role in determining nuclear structure and dynamics. The limitation of any independent particle model lies in its inability to encompass the correlation between the positions and spins of the various particles in the system [Blatt & Weiskopf (AD 1952)]. Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
4 The ab initio many-body approach The potentials are determined by a fit to the properties of the exactly solvable two- and three-nucleon systems v ij strongly constrained by deuteron properties and nucleon-nucleon (NN) scattering data: the ANL v 18 model, as an example v ij = v p (r ij )O p ij p=1,18 O p ij = [11, (σ i σ j ), S ij, L S, L 2, L 2 (σ i σ j ), (L S) 2 ] [11, (τ i τ j )], [1, (σ i σ j ), S ij ] T ij, (τ zi + τ zj ) The three-nucleon potential is determined fitting the properties of the three-nucleon system V ijk = V 2π ijk + VR ijk Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31

7 The efective interaction approach The bare potential is replaced with an efective potential, suitable for use within the framework of perturbation theory in the Fermi gas basis. The Skyrme potential, as an example v eff ij = δ(r i r j )t(k, k ) k = i 2 ( 1 2 ), k = i 2 ( 1 2 ) The above definition can be generalized to include spin-dependence. The parameters involved are adjusted in such a way as to reproduce selected nuclear properties, as well as the equilibrium properties of isospin symmetric nuclear matter. The ground state expectation value of the hamiltonian can be written in the form of a energy-density functional p 2 i H = 2m + v eff ij = E(ρ p, ρ n ) i j>i. Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
8 Results of the effective interaction approach Equation of state (EOS) of SNM and PNM computed using different Skyrme- and Gogny-type effective interactions, compared to the variational results obtained from the Argonne-Urbana hamiltonians. The effective interactions, while being capable to provide a reasonable description of the EOS, are limited by the approximations involved in their definition, lacking a direct connection to the underlying nuclear interactions. Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
9 Ab initio effective interaction In the ab initio approach the uncertainty associated with the dynamical model is decoupled from the approximations involved in many-body calculations Once the nuclear hamiltonian is determined, in principle its eigenstates can be obtained from the solution of the Schrödinger equation H n = E n n Calculation of nuclear observables do not involve any additional parameters The Schrödinger equation can only be solved for nuclei with mass number A 12. Approximations are required for larger A, as well as for uniform nuclear matter in the A limit. Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
10 Correlated Basis Function (CBF) formalism The eigenstates of the nuclear hamiltonian are approximated by the set of correlated states, obtained from the eigenstates of the Fermi Gas (FG) model n = F n FG n FG F F n FG 1/2 = 1 F n FG, F = S Nn the structure of the two-nucleon correlation operator reflects the complexity of nuclear dynamics f ij = f p (r ij )O p ij p the operators O n ij are the same as those entering the definition of the NN potential j>i f ij Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
11 Cluster expansion and FHNC equations The ground state expectation value of the hamiltonian is written as a sum of contributions associated with subsystems (clusters) consisisting of an increasing number of particles H = 0 H = E FG + ( E) n The relevant terms of the cluster expansion can be summed up at all orders solving a set of integral equations known as Fermi Hyper-Netted Chain (FHNC) equations the shapes of the f p (r ij ) are determined form the minimization of the ground-state expectation value of the hamiltonian E 0 min F n 2 0 FG F HF 0 FG 0 FG 0 FG Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
12 Alternative approach: the CBF effective interaction Within CBF, the effective interaction is defined through H = 0 F (T + V)F 0 0 F F 0 = 0 FG T + V eff 0 FG At two-body cluster level V eff = v eff (ij) j>i v eff (ij) = f ij [ 1m ( 2 f ij ) 2m ] ( f ij) + v ij f ij Three-nucleon interactions can be taken into account extending the definition to include three-body cluster contributions Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31

19 Density dependence of ηt 2 n pure neutron matter Note: the SLya effective interaction, adjusted to reproduce the the microscopic EOS, predicts ηt g cm 1 s 1 MeV 2 at nuclear matter equilibrium density, to be compared with the result obtained from the CBF effective interaction ηt g cm 1 s 1 MeV 2. Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
20 Thermal conductivity of pure neutron matter The transport coefficients computed using the CBF effective interaction is remarkably close to the result obtained within the G-matrix approach using the same bare NN potential.

24 Alternative approach: Landau theory Landau theory of normal Fermi liquids can also be employed to obtain the density and spin responses of pure neutron matter the value of the Landau parameters can be obtained from the quasiparticle interaction, which can be in turn expressed in terms of matrix elements of the effective interaction f σσ pp = f pp + g pp (σ σ ) + f pp S 12 (p p ) = pσ p σ v eff pσ p σ pσ p σ v eff p σ pσ this formalism can be easily extended to non zero temperatures, in the range T << T F Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31

31 Summary & Outlook Resolving the degeneracy associated with models of the EOS providing similar values of neutron stars mass and radius will require the study of different properties This analysis will in turn require the development of novel approaches, allowing for a consistent description based on a unified dynamical model Effective interactions obtained from realistic nuclear hamiltonians provide a powerful tool to carry out calculations of a number of different quantities, ranging from the EOS to single particle properties and in medium scattering probabilities The model dependence associated with the many-body approach employed to obtain the effective interaction apperas to be remarkably weak Omar Benhar (INFN, Roma) INT, Seattle July 16, / 31
