Hyperon Suppression in Hadron-Quark Mixed Phase T. Maruyama (JAEA) , S. Chiba (JAEA), H.-J. Schhulze (INFN-Catania), T. Tatsumi (Kyoto U.) • Property of nuclear matter in neutron stars. • Non uniform “Pasta” structures at first-order phase transitions and the EOS of mixed phase. • Structure and mass of neutron stars. • Particle fraction in mixed phase -- hyperon suppression.
Observed Neutron Star Masses • Most of them lie around 1.4 Msol Hulse-Taylor Radius ~ 10 km Central density ~ several r0—10 r0 Mass ~ 1.4 Msol
At 2-3 r0,hyperons are expected to emerge in nuclear matter. Large softening of the EOS Maximum mass of neutron star becomesless than 1.4 solar mass. Contradicts obs. >1.4 Msol Without Y With Y Schulze et al, PRC73 (2006) 058801
Phase transition to quark matter may solve this problem.[Maieron et al, PRD70 (2004) 043010 etc]. • But the existence of mixed phasemay soften the EOS again! • --- Bulk Gibbs calculation yields wide range of mixed phase and large softening [Glendenning, PRD46,1274]. Maxwell construction EOS of mixed phase is important !
In the mixed phase with charged particles, non-uniform ``Pasta’’ structures are expected [Ravenhall et al, PRL 50 (1983) 2066]. Depending on the density, geometrical structure of mixed phase changes from droplet, rod, slab, tube and to bubble configuration. Quite different from abulk picture of mixed phase. We have to take into account the effect of the structure when we calculate EOS. Surface tension & Coulomb
Assume regularity in structure: divide whole space into equivalent and neutral cells with a geometrical symmetry • (3D: sphere, 2D : cylinder, 1D: plate). Wigner-Seitz cell approx. • Divide a cell into hadron phase and quark phases. • Give a geometry (Unif/Dropl/Rod/...) and a baryon density rB. • Solve the field equations numerically. Optimize the cell size and H-Q boundary position (choose the energy-minimum). • Choose an energy-minimum geometry among 7 cases • (Unif H, droplet, rod, slab, tube, bubble, Unif Q).

Hadron EOS vs quark EOS--- Choice of parameters For hadron phase, there is no adjustable parameter in the BHF model. For quark phase, we chooseaS =0 and B=100 MeV/fm3. Quark threshold is above the hyperon threshold in uniform matter. Critical density Hyperon threshold 0.34 fm-3
Density profile in a cell ri(r) consistent with Ui(r) Quark phase is negatively charged. u quarks are attracted and d,s quarks repelled. Same thing happens to p in the hadron phase.
EOS of matter Full calculation (with pasta) is close to the Maxwell construction (local charge neutral). Far from the bulk Gibbs calculation (neglects the surface and Coulomb).

Important Side-effect of Pasta Structure Full calculation Particle fraction Although the EOS of matter and NS mass by the full calc is close to the Maxwell constr., the particle fraction is much different. Hyperon does not appear. ru ~ rs 2SC?

Neutral hadron th=0.34 fm Hyperon mixture is favoured to reduce electron and neutron Fermi energy. Charged hadron th=1.15 fm Heavy hyperons are not favoured. particle fraction particle fraction Mixed phase consists of negative Q and positive H phases. Hyperon suppression 14
Summary • We have studied ``Pasta’’ structures of hadron-quark mixed phase. • Coulomb screening and stronger surface tension makes the EOS of mixed phase close to that of Maxwell construction instead of a bulk Gibbs calc. • The mass-radius relation of a compact star is also close to the Maxwell construction case. • But the particle fraction and the inner structure is quite different. Non uniform structure causes local charge and consequently the suppression of hyperons. • All the strangeness in NS is in the quark phase. • If the mixture of hyperons is suppressed in neutron stars • influence on thermal property and n opacity (cooling process).

Maxwell construction: • Assumes local charge neutrality (violates the Gibbs cond.) • Neglects surface tension. • Bulk Gibbs calculation: • Respects the balances of mi between 2 phases but neglects surface tension and the Coulomb interaction. • Full calculation: includes everything. • Strong tsurf LargeR, • charge-screening effectively • local charge neutral. • close to the Maxwell constrctn. • Weak tsurf Small R Coulomb ineffective • close to the bulk Gibbs calc.
