SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 Zach Meisel, Ohio University, will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The 
 presentation is titled "Constraining 
 Ultradense Matter with Nuclear and Numerical 
 Experiments."\n
 \n
 Accreting neutron stars provide 
 a unique window onto the behavior of matter 
 at extreme density. The X-ray burst, superburst, 
 and crust cooling episodes that several 
 such stars go through provide signatures of 
 the neutron star outer layers' thermal and 
 compositional structure, along with bulk properties 
 of the star. Interpreting these signatures 
 requires model-observation comparisons. 
 Meanwhile, the astrophysics model calculation 
 results can be sensitive to the properties of 
 the hundreds of atomic nuclei found near the 
 neutron star surface. I will present results 
 of numerical experiments performed with astrophysics 
 model calculations that help prioritize 
 nuclear physics studies, as well as results 
 from recent nuclear physics experiments that 
 constrain key nuclear uncertainties. I will 
 briefly discuss the outlook for future measurements 
 at FRIB.\n\n
