Constraints on the coupling constants of σ − and ω − mesons to ∆-isobars
The effects of the presence of ∆-isobars in nuclear matter are studied in the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. The existence of stable nuclei at saturation density imposes constraints on the coupling constants of the σand ω-meson with ∆-isobars. The range of possible values for the scalar and vector coupling constants of ∆-isobars with respect to the nucleon coupling is investigated and compared to recent predictions of QCD sum rule calculations.
The Relativistic Nuclear Many Body Problem
These lectures are based on a book “THE RELATIVISTIC NUCLEAR MANY-BODY PROBLEM” written with Brian Serot which will appear as volume 16 of the series Advances in Nuclear Physics edited by J. W. Negele and E. Vogt [R1]. I am distributing copies of the table of contents.
Green's function formalism and quantum correction for finite-temperature baryon matter
Abstract A relativistic temperature Green's function formalism is used to find the one-loop quantum correction for infinite baryon matter with scalar and vector interactions. Effects on the equation of state and the baryon effective mass are analyzed.
