Abstract

Density and temperature conditions in many stellar core (like the solar core) imply the presence of nonideal plasma effects with memory and long-range interactions between particles. This aspect suggests the possibility that the stellar core could not be in a global thermodynamical equilibrium but satisfies the conditions of a metastable state with a stationary (nonextensive) power law distribution function among ions. The order of magnitude of the deviation from the standard Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution can be derived microscopically by considering the presence of random electrical microfields in the stellar plasma. We show that such a nonextensive statistical effect can be very relevant in many nuclear astrophysical problems.

Thomas-Fermi model: Nonextensive statistical mechanics approach

Journal Article Martinenko, Evgeny ; Shivamoggi, Bhimsen K. - Physical Review. A

In this paper, the Thomas-Fermi model for large atoms is reformulated by incorporating the nonextensive entropy prescription. The entropy nonextensivity contribution dominates the usual thermal correction term in the 'low-temperature' limit. On the other hand, the entropy nonextensivity concept appears to provide a useful framework to describe the fractal nature of the Fermi surface in the nondegenerate case. Analytical calculations are given for some atomic properties, such as the total binding energy of the electrons in the atom. The nonextensivity of entropy is indicated to have the potential to provide a means to remedy one of the well-known weaknesses inmore »« less

Computation of generalized and exact dispersion relations for longitudinal plasma waves in nonextensive statistics and the effects of the nonextensivity on the oscillation modes and damps

Journal Article Esfandyari-Kalejahi, A. ; Ebrahimi, V. - Physics of Plasmas

We have derived generalized dispersion relations for longitudinal waves in collisionless thermal plasma using linear Vlasov-Poisson kinetic model and nonextensive distributions for electrons. The Maxwellian limit of the dispersion relations, where the q-nonextensive parameter tends to one, is calculated. The generalized dispersion relations are reduced to polynomials for some specific values of q. The well-known modes of oscillations such as the Langmuir and electron acoustic waves have been obtained by solving the dispersion relations. Some new modes of oscillation are also found. Finally, the dependence of the oscillation modes and damps on q is discussed.

Concluding Remarks on Nuclear Structure and its Role in Nuclear Astrophysics

Journal Article Horoi, Mihai - AIP Conference Proceedings

Nuclear structure knowledge is essential for Nuclear Astrophysics. Many developments in this area of research that occurred recently were presented and hotly debated at the 2007 edition of the Carpathian Summer School in Sinaia. Here we give a short overview of what was discussed.

Breakup of radioactive nuclear beams at intermediate energies as indirect method for nuclear astrophysics

Journal Article Trache, L. ; Gagliardi, C. A. ; Tribble, R. E. ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

We discuss the use of one-nucleon removal reactions of loosely bound nuclei at intermediate energies as an indirect method in nuclear astrophysics. These breakup reactions are good spectroscopic tools and can be used to study a large number of loosely bound proton- or neutron-rich nuclei over a wide range of beam energies. They are peripheral processes that can be used to extract asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANC) from which direct capture proton reaction rates of astrophysical interest can be calculated parameter free. We emphasize the importance of reaction model calculations and of exclusive measurements to check them. We review several cases:more »« less
