RELATIVISTIC MEAN FIELD THEORY FOR UNSTABLE NUCLEI AND SUPERNOVAE

We discuss first the properties of unstable nuclei in the framework of the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. We take the RMF theory as a phenomenological theory with several parameters, whose form is constrained by the successful microscopic theory (RBHF), and whose values are extracted from the experimental data of unstable nuclei. We find the outcome with the use of the parameter sets (TM1 and TMA) is promising in comparison with various experimental data on finite nuclei including unstable ones. We construct then the equation of state of nuclear matter for the use in the description of supernovae. We present also the simulations of supernovae with the supernova newly constructed equation of state in the prompt explosion scenario.
