Three-dimensional structure of low-density nuclear matter

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: We numerically explore the pasta structures and properties of low-density nuclear matter without any assumption on the geometry. We observe conventional pasta structures, while a mixture of the pasta structures appears as a metastable state at some transient densities. We also discuss the lattice structure of droplets.
