Outline of the lecture 1. Symmetry energy • mass formula • nuclear density distribution • nuclear equation of state (EOS) 2. Determination the neutron skin thickness and the symmetry energy by using • weak interaction • strong interaction • electro-magnetic interaction
Mass Formula What is the origin or the asymmetry term? Bethe-Weizsäcker semi-empirical mass formula
Asymmetry (Symmetry) Energy Origin of the asymmetry term Stronger attraction in a pn pair than nn (pp) Maximum number of pn-pairs when N=Z for a fixed A. p n T=0 Stronger attraction due to tensor force T=1 charge symmetry isospin symmetry T=1 Fermi-particle (Pauli exclusion) effect Higher orbits must be occupied when N≠Z. Z = N Z ≠ N

Nuclear Density Distribution Schematic Illustration Why the nuclear density distribution has this kind of shape? Density distribution of 208 Pb, studied by proton and electron elastic scatterings. J. Zenihiro et al. , Phys. Rev. C 82, 044611 (2010).
Nuclear Density Distribution of typical heavy nuclei 1. constant inner density (saturation density) independent of A 2. surface diffuseness independent of A Schematic Illustration Why the nuclear density distribution has this kind of shape? 3. very small difference of the radius between p and How the difference (neutron skin thickness) is made?
Saturation of Density ~0. 16 fm-3 Nucleon-nucleon interaction 1 S 0 Channel Symmetric nuclear matter N=Z Short range interaction 1 -2 fm A nucleon only interacts with neighboring nucleons and the volume energy is independent on A. Attraction due to pion-exchange Energy increase at higher-density: 1. density dependence of the tensor interaction. 2. exchange interaction 3. short range repulsive core of the NN interaction and 3 NF…

diffuseness tunneling Surface diffuseness is created 1. mainly by the tunneling effect of the bound nucleons in the nuclear potential 2. and by the zero-point oscillation of the nuclear shape.

Equation of State (EOS) Thermodynamics Pressure in the equilibrium condition is expressed as a function of other state variables, e. g. volume, temperature, mol number. The equation depends on the system. EOS of the ideal gas Nuclear Equation of State Energy per nucleon of nuclear matter in the equilibrium condition is expressed as a function of nucleon density (r), asymmetry parameter (d), and temperature (T).
Nuclear Equation of State (EOS) EOS for energy per nucleon (at T=0, no Coulomb) EOS of symmetric nuclear matter Saturation Density ~0. 16 fm-3 Symmetry energy originates from 1. stronger attraction in a pn pair than an nn or pp pair. 2. Fermi particle nature. larger number of particles -> occupation of higher orbit.

Neutron Star Fundamental Questions: How large and stiff is a neutron star? How is the inner structure? How much content of protons and electrons? Do meson-condensed states or hyperons exist? For answering to the questions, precise knowledge is required for the EOF of nuclear and neutron rich matter. http: //www. astro. umd. edu/~miller/nstar. html
