description

Abstract We investigate the RPA response of asymmetric nuclear matter to external fields which induce charge exchange between nucleons, both at zero and finite temperature. Closed expressions are obtained for the RPA response in each spin channel when the nucleon–nucleon interaction is of the Skyrme type. Exchange terms are fully taken into account. We consider the transferred momentum, asymmetry and temperature as the relevant parameters of our study. Special emphasis is given to the role of neutron excess in relation to the collective states at low momentum.
