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 …

Hidden pseudospin and spin symmetries and their origins in atomic nuclei

H Liang, J Meng, SG Zhou - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Symmetry plays a fundamental role in physics. The quasi-degeneracy between single-
particle orbitals (n, l, j= l+ 1/2) and (n− 1, l+ 2, j= l+ 3/2) indicates a hidden symmetry in …

Towards an ab initio covariant density functional theory for nuclear structure

Nuclear structure models built from phenomenological mean fields, the effective nucleon–
nucleon interactions (or Lagrangians), and the realistic bare nucleon–nucleon interactions …

Halos in medium-heavy and heavy nuclei with covariant density functional theory in continuum

J Meng, SG Zhou - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Covariant density functional theory with a few parameters has been widely used to describe

Quantitative analysis of tensor effects in the relativistic Hartree-Fock theory

Z Wang, Q Zhao, H Liang, WH Long - Physical Review C, 2018 - APS
Tensor force is identified in each meson-nucleon coupling in the relativistic Hartree-Fock
theory. It is found that all the meson-nucleon couplings, except the σ-scalar one, give rise to …
