The equation of state (EoS) of hot and dense matter plays a fundamental role in the understanding of core-collapse supernova.
A phase transition from hadronic to exotic phases might occur
in the early post-bounce phase of a core collapse supernova.
We generate a full tabular equation of state of dense matter with $\Lambda$
hyperons. The $\beta$-equilibrated
EoS involving...

The Telescope Array Experiment (TA) is the northern hemisphere's largest detector of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). Built to measure the UHECR chemical composition, arrival-direction anisotropy, and energy spectrum for E > 1 EeV, TA's instrumentation includes both an array of scintillator-based particle counters and three fluorescence detector stations overlooking the ground array....

The LHCf experiment is one of the forward experiments at the LHC. The purpose is to provide critical calibration data for hadronic interaction model which are used for MC simulations of air shower generated by very high energy cosmic-rays. The LHCf has two independent detectors which are installed at +/-140m from a LHC interaction point, IP1. The detectors are sampling and imaging calorimeters...

The NUCLEON apparatus is a low orbit space ray detector positioned on the Resurs-P satellite. The main detector for measuring space ray energy is the kinematic lightweight energy meter (KLEM). The KLEM method is a development of the kinematic calorimeter method proposed by Castagnoli in 1953. The main principle of a basic kinematic calorimeter is to measure primary particle’s energy by...

The Pierre Auger Observatory is the world's largest cosmic ray observatory. The observatory combines two complementary detection techniques to study the extensive particle showers created by collisions of primary cosmic rays with the atmosphere. Analysis of those showers enables one not only to estimate the energy, direction and most probable mass of the primary cosmic particles, but also to...

The origin, composition and mechanisms of acceleration the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) are not yet fully understood. The trajectories of these particles can be affected by cosmic magnetic fields. Depending on the strength and properties of these fields, charged cosmic rays can diffuse and have propagation times comparable to the age of the universe, causing a suppression in the...

Despite the efforts of numerous experiments with different components of extensive air showers (EAS) in the last decades, the uncertainty in the all nuclei spectrum of primary cosmic rays is still high and the results on chemical composition of primary cosmic rays from different experiments contradict each other. In this study an overview of the SPHERE experiment based on detection of the...

Background: An accurate description of nuclear pairing gaps is extremely important
for understanding static and dynamic properties of the inner crusts of neutron stars
and to explain their cooling process.
Purpose: We plan to study the behaviour of the pairing gaps as a function of
the Fermi momentum for neutron and nuclear matter in all relevant angular momentum
channels where...

The equation of state (EOS) for the high density matter is still not clear and recent several observations indicate the restrictions of the EOSs, therefore theoretical studies should try to elucidate the EOSs in the high density and/or temperature. As there are many rapidly rotating neutron stars (pulsars), many theoretical studies try to take into account the effect of rotation[1]. We...
