Research Topics: Theoretical Nuclear Astrophysics, Cosmology
and Heavy-Ion Physics
in particular compact stars (neutron stars, quark stars),
(hyper)nuclear structure, hadrons in the medium, chiral effective
models
- hypernuclei and strange hadronic matter
- strange quark matter and strangelets
- equation of state for neutron stars including hyperons
- kaon condensation in neutron stars
- neutron star constraints for the H dibaryon
- in-medium properties of kaons and subthreshold kaon
production
- effective SU(3) chiral models for nuclear structure
- Disoriented chiral condensates in SU(3) and the chiral
phase transition
- quark stars
- scaling properties in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
Now we are more interested in:
- Fermion stars, Boson stars
- QCD Phase Transition and Supernovae
- QCD Phase Transition and Cosmology
- Interacting Dark Matter
- Equation of state for neutron stars and constraints from
heavy-ion physcis
- Equation of state for supernova and neutron star merger
simulations
