- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

EOS of low-density neutron matter EOS of low-density neutron matter
- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

Inner crust of NS nuclear lattice permeated by a gas of neutronsAt a given point nuclei merge and form more complicated structures Study of EOS of pure neutron matter
QMC
EOS of low-density neutron matter EOS of low-density neutron matter
- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS

- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC

Inner crust of NS nuclear lattice permeated by a gas of neutronsAt a given point nuclei merge and form more complicated structures Study of EOS of pure neutron matter
QMC
EOS of low-density neutron matter EOS of low-density neutron matter
- Only s-wave matters but the ldquounitary limitrdquo is actually never reached Despite that the energy is frac12 the kinetic energyin a wide range of density (for unitary 04-042 from QMC)
- The dominant correlation comes from the Pauli operator
- Both three hole-line and single particle potential effects are smalland essentially negligible Three-body forces negligible
- Scattering length and effective range determine completely the G-matrix
- Variational calculations are slightly above BBG Good agreement with QMC
In this density range one can get the ldquoexactrdquo neutron matter EOS
