Equation of State and Neutrino Opacity in Core Collapse Supernova

Gang Shen Los Alamos National Laboratory
June 20, 2011

PIRSA:11060014
Particle Physics
We present new equations of state (EOS) of nuclear matter for a wide range of temperatures densities and proton fractions for use in supernova and neutron star merger simulations. We employ a full relativistic mean field (RMF) calculation for matter at intermediate density and high density and the Virial expansion of a nonideal gas for matter at low density. We tabulate the resulting EOS in the temperature range T = 0 - 80 MeV the density range nB = 10Ã¢
Relativistic EOS for Supernovae Simulations
June 20, 2011

PIRSA:11060013
Particle Physics
We construct the relativistic equation of state (EOS) of dense matter covering a wide range of temperature proton fraction and density for the use of core-collapse supernova simulations. The study is based on the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory which can provide an excellent description of nuclear matter andfinite nuclei. The Thomas-Fermi approximation is adopted to describe the non-uniform matter which is composed of a lattice of heavy nuclei.We present two types of results. The first one takes into account only the nucleon degree of freedom while the second one considers additional contributions from Lambda hyperons. We tabulate the resulting EOS with an improved design of ranges and grids.
Neutron Star Mass and Radius Constraints for the Dense Matter Equation of State

James Lattimer Stony Brook University
June 20, 2011

PIRSA:11060012
Particle Physics
Recent discoveries, including a 2 solar mass pulsar, rapid cooling in the Cas A supernova remnant, and estimates of masses and radii from photospheric radius expansion bursts and thermal emissions from neutron stars, are able to constrain significantly the properties of dense matter. Implications for the pressure-density relation and properties of superfluids in neutron star interiors will be discussed.

PIRSA:11060111

Born from a unique, international energy summit of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and future leaders from around the world, the Equinox Communiqué offers visionary proposals for transformative action on reducing the electricity-related emissions that drive climate change. Through a series of mini presentations, Summit participants discuss the Equinox Summit: Energy 2030 and explain the six main recommendations outlined in the Equinox Communiqué. These speakers lay the groundwork for a year-long global impact phase, including the release of the detailed and transformative Equinox Blueprint: Energy 2030. Speakers include: Jatin Nathwani, Jason Blackstock, Jakob Nygard, Yacine Kadi, Lauren Riga, Robin Batterham, Zoë Caron, Maria Skyllas-Kazacos, Marc McArthur, Bill Rosehart, Felipe De Leon, Kerry Cheung, Aaron Leopold, and Cathy Foley

Technology, Energy and Nature - Human Values and Open Choices

David Keith

June 08, 2011

PIRSA:11060105

As humans, we have developed technologies to control energy transformations from agriculture to nuclear weapons. Increasing technological ability has co-evolved with increasing intensity of energy use and growing complexity of our civilization. These forces have shaped our environmental footprint and our very conception of nature. It's tempting to believe that physical limits constrain our energy and environmental choices as never before; but Dr. Keith argues precisely the opposite: our growing technological leverage makes access to energy and materials cheaper, opening up our options for co-existing with the natural world. These options force us to confront hard choices about our values. Should we treasure nature as it is, or purely as an instrument to human welfare? Our growing ability to engineer the planet makes these choices ever more pressing. David Keith holds the Canada Research Chair in Energy and Environment, and is a Professor at the University of Calgary and Adjunct Professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He has worked near the interface between climate science, energy technology and public policy for twenty years. His work in technology and policy assessment has centered on the capture and storage of CO2, the technology and implications of global climate engineering the economics and climatic impacts of large-scale wind power and, most recently, the land footprint of energy technologies.

Civilization Far From Equilibrium - Energy, Complexity, and Human Survival

Thomas Homer-Dixon University of Waterloo

June 07, 2011

PIRSA:11060106

Human societies use complexity – within their institutions and technologies – to address their various problems, and they need high-quality energy to create and sustain this complexity. But now greater complexity is producing diminishing returns in wellbeing, while the energetic cost of key sources of energy is rising fast. Simultaneously, humankind’s problems are becoming vastly harder, which requires societies to deliver yet more complexity and thus consume yet more energy. Resolving this paradox is the central challenge of the 21st century. Thomas Homer-Dixon holds the CIGI Chair of Global Systems at the Balsillie School of International Affairs in Waterloo, Canada, and is a Professor at the University of Waterloo.
