Equations of State of Hadronic Matter ===================================== :ref:`O2scl ` The hadronic equations of state (EOSs) treat nucleonic (neutrons and protons) matter at zero or finite temperature. There are models which are easily written in terms of the neutron and proton densities: - :ref:`eos_had_schematic `, - :ref:`eos_had_skyrme `, - :ref:`eos_had_apr `, - :ref:`eos_had_gogny `, - :ref:`eos_had_potential `, and - :ref:`eos_had_tabulated `, and those which are more easily written in terms of the neutron and proton chemical potentials: - :ref:`eos_had_rmf `, - :ref:`eos_had_rmf_delta `, - :ref:`eos_had_ddc `, and - :ref:`eos_had_virial `. All of these EOSs are built on the base class :ref:`eos_had_base `, which includes several methods which apply to all of these models. For example, methods which calculate the saturation properties of nuclear matter. These methods are sometimes overloaded in descendants when exact formulas are available. There is also a set of classes to modify the quartic term of the symmetry energy: :ref:`eos_had_sym4_rmf `, :ref:`eos_had_sym4_apr `, :ref:`eos_had_sym4_skyrme `, and :ref:`eos_had_sym4_mdi ` all based on :ref:`eos_had_sym4_base ` which can be used in :ref:`eos_had_sym4 `. Akmal-Pandharipande-Ravenhall EOS example ----------------------------------------- This example computes the APR EOS with :ref:`eos_had_apr `. It computes nuclear and neutron matter and then matter in beta-equilibrium with both a Maxwell construction (as done in the [Akmal98eo]_) and a Gibbs construction to match the low- and high-density phases. Afterwards it computes the properties of neutron stars from the EOS. Most of the data is stored in :ref:`table_units ` objects and then written to HDF files in the examples directory. This example is rather lengthy and the full source code is not duplicated here. The class created in that example is documented at :ref:`ex_eos_had_apr ` . The EOS and mass radius curves for APR created by this example and for the Skyrme model SLy4 from the next example is below. The third figure below is the Gibbs phase transition for APR. .. image:: ../../../examples/plot/ex_eos_had_eos.png :width: 60% .. image:: ../../../examples/plot/ex_eos_had_mvsr.png :width: 60% .. image:: ../../../examples/plot/ex_eos_had_gibbs.png :width: 60% Typical output: .. literalinclude:: ../../../examples/ex_eos_had_apr.scr :language: none Skyrme EOS example ------------------ This example computes the EOS and neutron star properties using :ref:`eos_had_skyrme ` from a Skyrme model.
