An Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry IV: Nucleons and Mesons at Finite Temperature
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the finite temperature properties of an effective chiral Lagrangian which describes nuclear matter. Thermal fluctuations in both the nucleon and the meson fields are considered. The logarithmic and square root terms in the effective potential are evaluated by expansion and resummation with the result written in terms of the exponential integral and the error function, respectively. In the absence of explicit chiral symmetry breaking a phase transition restores the symmetry, but when the pion has a mass the transition is smooth. The nucleon and meson masses as a functions of density and temperature are discussed. PACS: 11.10.Wx, 12.39.Fe, 24.10.Jv

An Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry III: Mesons at Finite Temperature
We investigate the finite temperature behavior of the meson sector of an effective Lagrangian which describes nuclear matter. A method is developed for evaluating the logarithmic terms in the effective potential which involves expansion and resummation; the result is written in terms of the exponential integral. In the absence of explicit chiral symmetry breaking, a phase transition restores th...
متن کاملAn Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry II: Pion Phenomenology
We extend an effective Lagrangian embodying broken scale and chiral symmetry to include explicit chiral symmetry breaking and an additional chiral invariant term which allows for an axial coupling constant greater than unity. We also include a chiral Lagrangian for the isotriplet vector mesons which leads to a renormalization of the pion field. The properties of nuclear matter and nuclei, low e...

Effective chiral Lagrangians involving constituent quarks, Goldstone bosons and long-distance gluons are believed to describe the strong interactions in an intermediate energy region between the confinement scale and the chiral symmetry breaking scale. Baryons and mesons in such a description are bound states of constituent quarks. We discuss the combined use of the techniques of effective chir...
متن کاملProperties of vector mesons at finite temperature: Effective Lagrangian approach.
The properties of ρ-mesons at finite temperature (T ) are examined with an effective chiral lagrangian in which vector and axial-vector mesons are included as massive Yang-Mills fields of the chiral symmetry. It is shown that, at T 2 order, the effective mass is not changed but only the mixing effect in vector and axial-vector correlator appears. PACS numbers : 25.75+r, 11.10.Wx, 11.30.Rd Types...
متن کاملMasses of vector and axial-vector mesons at finite temperature.
An important topic in strong interaction at non-zero temperature is the calculation of shifts in the masses and the couplings which hadrons suffer while moving through a heat bath. Apart from their immediate relevance in understanding the experimental data on heavy ion collisions, these shifts as functions of temperature provide an effective description of the thermal properties of strong inter...
