Inner crust of neutron stars, which consists of lattice of neutron-rich nuclei immersed in dilute neutron superfluid, may exhibits distinct low-lying excitations. Collective oscillation of displacement motion of nuclei leads to the lattice phonon while another phonon excitation is also possible in neutron superfluid, known as the superfluid phonon or the Anderson-Bogoliubov mode. The...
The nuclear matter radius is one of the fundamental physical quantities, and the interaction cross section measurement is a method used to deduce this radius. Measurement of interaction cross sections using the transmission method achieves an accuracy of 0.5% with statistics from only 10^5 to 10^6 particles, owing to the large cross section and the ability to use thick targets. This...
