The Nature of Dense MatterThe Models

Motivation

We wish to understand the properties of matter over awide range of densities; from single atomic nuclei toneutron stars.

In order to do this, we must first understand thefundamental and effective degrees of freedom at eachdensity scale.

In order to evaluate success, we need to comparepredictions over a wide range of density scales toobservable phenomena.

Interpretation

The improvement in the 2008 parameterization of M∗

is that the effect of the mean scalar field in-medium onthe familiar one-gluon-exchange hyperfine interaction(that in free space leads to the N -∆ and Σ-Λ masssplittings) is also included self-consistently.

This has the effect of increasing the splitting betweenthe Λ and Σ masses as the density rises and the primereason why we find that the Σ hypernuclei are unbound.
