Scientific paper

A nuclear Thomas-Fermi model is used to determine the ground state of matter at subnuclear densities allowing for inhomogeneities on a nuclear scale ("clusters"). The "neutron drip" phase transition occurs at 3.7 × 1011 g/cm3. As a function of the average density the proton number Z of the clusters first increases from Z~=29 at 1.4 × 108 g/cm3 to a maximum of Z~=35 at ~3.0 × 1012 g/cm3 and then decreases until the clusters gradually evanesce just above 1014 g/cm3; this transition is smooth.
