均匀中子星物质中的等离子体激元激发

Plasmon excitations in homogeneous neutron star matter

Marcello Baldo, Camille Ducoin

摘要:

我们研究了可能影响中子星热力学的集体等离子体模式以及核饱和($ρ_0$)和$3ρ_0$之间重子密度范围内的不同基本过程。在这个区域,中子星物质的预期成分主要是中子、质子、电子和μ子($npeμ$物质),在β平衡的约束下。在RPA框架下研究了$peμ$三流体介质中的基元等离子体激发。我们强调的库仑相互作用的三个物种之间的相关性,特别是相互作用的电子和μ子屏蔽在抑制可能的质子等离子体模式,这是转换成一个健全的模式。库仑相互作用本身能够产生多种激发分支,全谱函数在不同能量下显示出丰富的结构。真正的等离子体激元模式在高能量下被推动,并且它主要包含具有大量μ子分量的电子分量,该μ子分量随着密度而增加。等离子体激元在动量不太大的情况下是无阻尼的,预计几乎不受核相互作用的影响。落在等离子体激元之下的所有其他分支是阻尼的或过阻尼的。

英文摘要:

We study the possible collective plasma modes which can affect neutron-star thermodynamics and different elementary processes in the baryonic density range between nuclear saturation ($ρ_0$) and $3ρ_0$. In this region, the expected constituents of neutron-star matter are mainly neutrons, protons, electrons and muons ($npeμ$ matter), under the constraint of beta equilibrium. The elementary plasma excitations of the $peμ$ three-fluid medium are studied in the RPA framework. We emphasize the relevance of the Coulomb interaction among the three species, in particular the interplay of the electron and muon screening in suppressing the possible proton plasma mode, which is converted into a sound-like mode. The Coulomb interaction alone is able to produce a variety of excitation branches and the full spectral function shows a rich structure at different energy. The genuine plasmon mode is pushed at high energy and it contains mainly an electron component with a substantial muon component, which increases with density. The plasmon is undamped for not too large momentum and is expected to be hardly affected by the nuclear interaction. All the other branches, which fall below the plasmon, are damped or over-damped.
