Diego Lonardoni, Alessandro Lovato, Stefano Gandolfi, Francesco, Pederiva
TL;DR
This paper discusses the complexities of predicting neutron star properties, focusing on hyperon interactions in nuclear matter and recent quantum Monte Carlo results on hyperon-nucleon forces.
Contribution
It presents new quantum Monte Carlo results on realistic hyperon-nucleon interactions based on experimental data for hypernuclei.
Findings
Hyperon-nucleon interactions significantly influence neutron star core composition.
Quantum Monte Carlo methods effectively model hypernuclear forces.
Results support the development of more accurate nuclear interaction models.
Abstract
The prediction of neutron stars properties is strictly connected to the employed nuclear interactions. The appearance of hyperons in the inner core of the star is strongly dependent on the details of the underlying hypernuclear force. We summarize our recent quantum Monte Carlo results on the development of realistic two- and three-body hyperon-nucleon interactions based on the available experimental data for light- and medium-heavy hypernuclei.
