Properties of Hadron Matter. II. Dense Baryon Matter and Neutron Stars
Abstract
In this article we have provided certain details of a nuclear-matter computation, based on the Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone theory of nuclear reaction, which leads to an equation of state for matter in the density region t013-5 X 10 g . We also explore the possibilities that at very high baryon densities (>1017 g cm-3) or for very short baryon separations (<0.1 fm), the net baryon-baryon interaction may be negligible so that the results of dynamical models, like the statistical bootstrap model and the dualresonance model, may be applicable to the study of dense baryon matter. Several plausible equations of state are constructed, and their effect on the limiting mass of the neutron star is examined.
