Meson Condensations in High-Density Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent studies on meson condensations (pions and kaons) in high-density hadronic matter are reviewed. After summarizing onset mechanisms of pion and kaon condensations, we discuss implications for neutron star phenomena such as rapid cooling through neutrino emission, static and dynamic properties of neutron stars. Recent studies on coexistence problem of pion and kaon condensations are briefly introduced. Finally, relevance of meson condensations in hadronic matter to those in color superconductivity are briefly mentioned.

Antikaon condensation in neutron stars by a new nonlinear mean-eld model
We have investigated both the K and K0 condensations in -equilibrated neutron star (NS) matter using the relativistic mean- eld model with the renormalized meson-baryon coupling constants. Adopting the antikaon optical potential of 120MeV, our model predicts the K condensation as the second-order phase transition inside the neutron star of maximum mass, while the deeper potential than 160MeV is...
متن کاملIn-medium properties of Θ in symmetric nuclear matter
The properties of nuclear matter is carefully analysed in relativistic mean-field formalism(RMF), it is found that the non-linear self-interaction of σ meson affects the properties strongly at high density and there is also strong parameter dependence in this region. We introduce a density dependent scalar coupling according to the idea of QMC model, find that its effect to properties of nuclea...
متن کاملCollective modes in strange and isospin asymmetric hadronic matter
We study the propagation of non-strange and strange meson modes in hadronic matter considering isospin and/or strangeness mixing induced by quantum fluctuations in the medium. Baryons are described using the Quark Meson Coupling model extended to include couplings with strange quarks. In particular we evaluate the dependence of the meson masses on the baryonic density, the strangeness fraction ...
متن کاملSelf-consistent quantum effects in the quark meson coupling model
We derive the equation of state of nuclear matter for the quark-meson coupling model taking into account quantum fluctuations of the s meson as well as vacuum polarization effects for the nucleons. This model incorporates explicitly quark degrees of freedom with quarks coupled to the scalar and vector mesons. Quantum fluctuations lead to a softer equation of state for nuclear matter giving a lo...
متن کاملDileptons as Probes of High-Density Hadronic Matter: Results from the SPS Heavy-Ion Programme
The most recent results on dileptons obtained in the CERN heavy-ion programme are reviewed. The emphasis is on the excess of low-mass lepton pairs observed in the CERES, HELIOS-3 and NA38/50 experiments which seems to point at modifications of the vector meson properties, and in particular the ρ meson, in a high density baryonic medium. Recent results on intermediate mass dileptons are also pre...
