Description

Nuclear equation of state plays an important role in the evolution of the Universe, in supernova explosions and, thus, in the production of heavy elements, and in stability of neutron stars. The equation constrains the two- and three-nucleon interactions and the quantum chromodynamics in nonperturbative regime. Despite the importance of the equation, though, its features had remained fairly obscure. The talk reviews new results on the equation of state from measurements of giant nuclear oscillations and from studies of particle emission in central collisions of heavy nuclei
