Few new concepts of nuclear physics in a neutron star environment

Neutron stars are nuclear physics laboratories, providing a unique opportunity to apply and search for new physics. In that spirit, we explored few new concepts of nuclear physics studied in a neutron star environment: In the first concept, the reported 17 MeV boson, which has been proposed as an explanation to the ⁸Be ,⁴He and ¹²C reported anomalies, is investigated in the context of its possible influence in the neutron star structure, defining a universal Equation of State as well. In the second concept, the synthesis of hyper-heavy elements is investigated under conditions, simulating the neutron star environment.
