摘要:

超子谜题仍然是核天体物理学中的基本挑战。我们利用SU(3)奇性双重群模型,采用奇异表示(3,\ar{3}) + (\ar{3},3),研究中子星物质中的超子出现。该框架自然地纳入了奇异对称性恢复,并通过奇异凝聚体与奇异不变质量m₀的相互作用,系统地描述了密集物质中的重子质量。我们发现超子出现密度对m₀有强烈敏感性:对于m₀=500MeV,超子首次出现于1.9n₀,而对于m₀≥750MeV,超子仅在5n₀以上出现。这种延迟出现源于较大m₀值下重子质量的密度依赖性减弱。当超子出现密度超过预期的夸克-强子转变范围(2-5n₀)时,物质在超子填充之前经历去束缚,避免了方程软化的同时保持与大质量中子星观测的一致性。我们的结果表明,奇异动力学为超子谜题提供了一个自然的解决方案,而无需引入任意的排斥超子相互作用。

英文摘要:

The ``hyperon puzzle'' remains a fundamental challenge in nuclear astrophysics. We investigate hyperon emergence in neutron star matter using the $SU(3)$ parity doublet model with chiral representation $(3,\bar{3}) + (\bar{3},3)$. This framework naturally incorporates chiral symmetry restoration and provides a systematic description of baryon masses in dense matter through the interplay between the chiral condensate and the chiral invariant mass $m_0$. We find that the hyperon onset density exhibits strong sensitivity to $m_0$: for $m_0 = 500$ MeV, hyperons first appear at $1.9n_0$ while for $m_0 \gtrsim 750$ MeV, hyperons emerge only above $5n_0$. This delayed onset arises from the weakened density dependence of baryon masses at larger $m_0$ values. When the hyperon onset density exceeds the expected quark-hadron transition range ($2$--$5n_0$), matter undergoes deconfinement before hyperons populate, avoiding the EoS softening while maintaining consistency with massive neutron star observations. Our results demonstrate that chiral dynamics provides a natural resolution to the hyperon puzzle without requiring ad hoc repulsive hyperon interactions.
