EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Refining mass formulas for astrophysical applications: A Bayesian neural network approach

R. Utama and J. Piekarewicz

Phys. Rev. C 96, 044308 (2017) - Published 6 October, 2017

The masses of nuclei between the experimentally known region and the neutron drip line are key inputs for a variety of astrophysical applications. Particularly near the drip lines, unstable nuclei are also at the core of fundamental questions about the limits of nuclear binding. The authors use two existing mass models that capture the essential underlying physics and then refine their predictions by training an artificial neural network. The results significantly reduce the root-mean-square deviation relative to experiment. These newly refined mass tables are used to map the neutron drip lines and to study a few critical $r$ -process nuclei.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Convergence of the hole-line expansion with modern nucleon-nucleon potentials

Jia-Jing Lu (陆家靖), Zeng-Hua Li (李增花), Chong-Yang Chen (陈重阳), M. Baldo, and H.-J. Schulze

Phys. Rev. C 96, 044309 (2017) - Published 6 October, 2017

The accurate computation of nuclear matter properties, such as its binding energy, is still a challenge to nuclear theory, largely because the quark substructure of nucleons creates a strong repulsion at short distances that renders a straightforward perturbative calculation impossible. In this work, the authors study the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone expansion of dense Fermi systems in terms of hole-line contributions, of the associated Goldstone diagrams, to the binding energy of nuclear matter. They use various modern nucleon-nucleon potentials of high precision. In all cases the three-hole-line contributions are sufficiently small suggesting that the expansion converges. Yet, the empirical saturation properties of nuclear matter are not reproduced for any potential. This means that very strong nuclear three-body forces are required in order to achieve satisfactory saturation properties of nuclear matter, and that such forces are essential for all considered potentials.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Consistent implementation of non-zero-range terms into hydrodynamics

Scott Pratt

Phys. Rev. C 96, 044903 (2017) - Published 12 October, 2017

As the hot and dense matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions expands and cools, theory must accurately treat its thermodynamic properties as well as its transport behavior. Because gradient terms probe the local environment within the evolving system, they are important in modeling the growth of thermal fluctuations, especially near a critical point, where knowledge of the size and spread of correlations is crucial. This paper demonstrates how gradient terms can be incorporated into the hydrodynamic equations of motion and how those modifications can be consistently applied to all thermodynamic quantities.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Bulk properties of the medium produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions from the beam energy scan program

L. Adamczyk et al. (STAR Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. C 96, 044904 (2017) - Published 13 October, 2017

The beam-energy scan at RHIC aims to discover whether a critical point exists in the phase diagram of QCD. This paper reports on the most comprehensive measurement of single-particle spectra for a multitude of hadrons from the first run, taken with the STAR experiment. From these the authors infer the kinetic and chemical freeze-out temperatures and the baryon chemical potential as functions of beam energy and centrality. The results provide an opportunity for the beam-energy scan program at RHIC to enlarge the ( $T, μ B$ ) region of the phase diagram to search for the QCD critical point.
