The Nuclear Symmetry Energy and Neutron Star Crusts Lie-Wen Chen 陈列文 Department of Physics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Outline EOS of asymmetric nuclear matter and the nuclear symmetry energy Constraining the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy in heavy-ion collisions The nuclear symmetry energy and neutron star crusts Summary and outlook I. EOS of Asymmetric Nuclear Matter and the Nuclear Symmetry Energy World status of Rare Isotope Accelerators 3 Present constraints on the EOS of symmetric nuclear matter for 2ρ0 ρ 5ρ0 using flow data from BEVALAC, SIS/GSI and AGS Use constrained mean fields to predict the EOS for symmetric matter Width of pressure domain reflects uncertainties in comparison and of assumed momentum dependence. II.
