摘要:The nuclear equation of state (EoS) at high densities and/or extreme isospin is one of the longstanding
problems of nuclear physics. In the last years substantial progress has been made to constrain
the EoS both, from the astrophysical side and from accelerator based experiments. Heavy
ion experiments support a soft EoS at moderate densities while the possible existence of high
mass neutron star observations favors a stiff EoS. Ab initio calculations for the nuclear manybody
problem make predictions for the density and isospin dependence of the EoS far away from
the saturation point. Both, the constraints from astrophysics and accelerator based experiments
are shown to be in agreement with the predictions from many-body theory.
