Abstract:
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.
Keywords: Nuclear Physics; Neutrons Stars; Equation of State
