Strangeness production in neutron star matter
Abstract
Based on a dynamical model on particle production, the production and fraction of exotic components in neutron star matter are analyzed. It is found that there exists a small fraction of strangeness in twice saturation density matter. For five times saturation density matter, the fraction of strange baryons can be as high as 25-50\%, depending on the equation of state used. The neutron-proton asymmetry of dense matter does not significantly impact the strangeness fraction in neutron star matter. This research provides new insights into the strange components in neutron stars.
