Zero-sound branches in asymmetric nuclear matter

Abstract

A polarization operator constructed in the random phase approximation is used to obtain zero-sound excitations in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM). Two families of the complex solutions ω(k),τ= p,n are presented. The imaginary part of the solutions corresponds to the damping of the collective mode due to its overlapping with the particle-hole modes and the subsequent emission of a proton (ωsp(k)) or a neutron (ωsn(k)). The dependence of the solutions on the asymmetry parameter is studied.
