中子星中的短程关联与 Urca 过程

Short-Range Correlations and Urca Process in Neutron Stars

Armen Sedrakian

AI总结:

本研究结合 JLab 的高动量 np 对测量,在 Urca 速率计算中纳入短程关联导致的质子谱宽非 Fermi 液体修正,发现低温下质子分数阈值变为平滑增长,可能显著改变中子星冷却理论。

摘要:

近期在 JLab 对高动量关联中子-质子对的测量表明,致密星的致密核子成分含有一部分高动量中子-质子对,而这在人们熟悉的中子-质子流体混合物的 Fermi 液体理论中未被考虑。我们计算了致密星中的 Urca 过程速率,其中考虑了由短程关联引起的、对质子谱宽的非 Fermi 液体贡献。在低温下,Urca 速率与 Fermi 液体预测存在显著差异;特别是,阻止中子星中发生 Urca 过程的关于质子分数的高阈值,被随质子分数的平滑增长所取代。这一观察结果可能对致密星冷却理论产生深远影响。

英文摘要:

Recent measurements of high-momentum correlated neutron-proton pairs at JLab suggest that the dense nucleonic component of the compact stars contains a fraction of high-momentum neutron-proton pairs that is not accounted for in the familiar Fermi-liquid theory of the neutron-proton fluid mixture. We compute the rate of the Urca process in compact stars taking into account the non-Fermi liquid contributions to the proton's spectral widths induced by short-range correlations. The Urca rate differs strongly from the Fermi-liquid prediction at low temperatures, in particular, the high threshold on the proton fraction precluding the Urca process in neutron stars is replaced by a smooth increase with the proton fraction. This observation may have a profound impact on the theories of cooling of compact stars.
