Finite size effects on kaonic “pasta” structures

Abstract: Non-uniform structures of mixed phases at the first-order phase transition to charged kaon condensation are studied using a density functional theory within the relativistic mean field model. Including electric field effects and applying the Gibbs conditions in a proper way, we numerically determine density profiles of nucleons, electrons and condensed kaons. Importance of charge screening effects is elucidated and thereby we show that the Maxwell construction is effectively justified. Surface effect is also s… Show more

“…Since the matter in the core of neutron stars is possibly compressed to several times of the saturation nuclear density, new particles and even hadron-quark phase transitions may appear in the interior of these compact objects [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. On the other hand, the EoS of neutron star matter is crucial for the macroscopic features of neutron stars.…”

“…To clarify charge-screening effects, we also perform calculations without including screening [9,14,15]. We also adopt the EOS derived in a previous paper [9] and then apply it to the TOV equation [10,16].…”

“…Namely, whether nonuniform (pasta) structures appear in the HQ mixed phase is subject to a balance between the surface tension and the Coulomb repulsion [44,48], which is similar to the situation in the crust [38] and kaon condensed matter [49]. However, to determine the surface tension with the experiments on the Earth is quite difficult because temperature becomes too high for the HQ mixed phase to appear during the relativistic heavy-ion collisions.…”
