ABSTRACT

Using relativistic supernova simulations of massive progenitor stars with a quark-hadron equation of state (EOS) and a purely hadronic EOS, we identify a distinctive feature in the gravitational-wave signal that originates from a buoyancy-driven mode (g mode) below the proto-neutron star convection zone. The mode frequency lies in the range 200≲f≲800 Hz and decreases with time. As the mode lives in the core of the proto-neutron star, its frequency and power are highly sensitive to the EOS, in particular the sound speed around twice saturation density.

ABSTRACT

Recent validation experiments on laser irradiation of polymer foils with and without implanted golden nanoparticles are discussed. First we analyze characteristics of craters, formed in the target after its interaction with the laser beam. Preliminary experimental results show significant production of deuterons when both the energy of laser pulse and concentration of nanoparticles are high enough. We consider the deuteron production via the nuclear transmutation reactions p+C→d+X where protons are accelerated by the Coulomb field generated in the target plasma. We argue that maximal proton energy can be above threshold values for these reactions and the deuteron yield may noticeably increase due to presence of nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT

The hadron-quark phase transition in quantum chromodynamics has been suggested as an alternative explosion mechanism for core-collapse supernovae. We study the impact of three different hadron-quark equations of state (EoS) with first-order (DD2F_SF, STOS-B145) and second-order (CMF) phase transitions on supernova dynamics by performing 97 simulations for solar- and zero-metallicity progenitors in the range of [Formula: see text]. We find explosions only for two low-compactness models (14 and [Formula: see text]) with the DD2F_SF EoS, both with low explosion energies of [Formula: see text]. These weak explosions are characterized by a neutrino signal with several minibursts in the explosion phase due to complex reverse shock dynamics, in addition to the typical second neutrino burst for phase-transition-driven explosions. The nucleosynthesis shows significant overproduction of nuclei such as 90Zr for the [Formula: see text] zero-metallicity model and 94Zr for the [Formula: see text] solar-metallicity model, but the overproduction factors are not large enough to place constraints on the occurrence of such explosions. Several other low-compactness models using the DD2F_SF EoS and two high-compactness models using the STOS EoS end up as failed explosions and emit a second neutrino burst. For the CMF EoS, the phase transition never leads to a second bounce and explosion. For all three EoS, inverted convection occurs deep in the core of the protocompact star due to anomalous behaviour of thermodynamic derivatives in the mixed phase, which heats the core to entropies up to 4k B/baryon and may have a distinctive gravitational-wave signature, also for a second-order phase transition.
