Many neutron star properties, such as the proton fraction, reflect symmetry energy contributions to equation of state that dominate when and densities differ strongly. To constrain these at suprasaturation densities, we measure spectra charged pions produced by colliding rare isotope tin (Sn) beams with isotopically enriched Sn targets. Using ratios pion measured high transverse momenta, deduce slope be $42<L<117\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. This value is slightly lower but consistent $L$...
Subjecting a physical system to extreme conditions is one of the means often used obtain better understanding and deeper insight into its organization structure. In case atomic nucleus, such approach investigate isotopes that have very different neutron-to-proton (N/Z) ratios than in stable nuclei. Light, neutron-rich exhibit most asymmetric N/Z those lying beyond limits binding, which undergo spontaneous neutron emission exist only as short-lived resonances (about 10-21 s), provide...

NeuLAND (New Large-Area Neutron Detector) is the next-generation neutron detector for R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) experiment at FAIR (Facility Antiproton and Ion Research). detects neutrons energies from 100 to 1000 MeV, featuring a high detection efficiency, spatial time resolution, large multi-neutron reconstruction efficiency. This achieved by highly granular design of organic scintillators: 3000 individual submodules size 5 × 250 cm3 are arranged in 30 double...

Nuclear collective motion provides valuable constraint on the size of neutron-skin thickness and properties nuclear matter symmetry energy. By employing relativistic energy density functional (RNEDF) covariance analysis related to $\chi^2$ fitting model parameters, relevant observables are identified for dipole excitations, which strongly correlate with $(r_{np})$, at saturation $(J)$ slope $(L)$.
