The impact of charge symmetry and charge independence breaking on the
properties of neutrons and protons in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter    [PDF]

F. Sammarruca, L. White, B. Chen

We investigate the effects of charge independence and charge symmetry breaking in neutron-rich matter. We consider neutron and proton properties in isospin-asymmetric matter at normal densities as well as the high-density neutron matter equation of state and the bulk properties of neutron stars. We find charge symmetry and charge independence breaking effects to be very small.
