Looking skin deep at the growth of neutron stars – Phys.org
In atomic nuclei, protons and neutrons share energy and momentum in tight quarters. But exactly how they share the energy that keeps them bound within the nucleus—and even where they are within the nucleus—remain key puzzles for nuclear physicists.

A new study by researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Washington University in St. Louis tackled these questions by leveraging data from nuclear scattering experiments to make stringent constraints on how nucleons (neutrons an…
