Renormalized Hartree-Fock equations in a nuclear relativistic quantum field theory☆

TL;DR: Renormalized Hartree-Fock equations for an infinite system of mesons and baryons in the framework of a relativistic quantum field theory are derived in this article, where direct and exchange diagrams in the baryon propagator are summed self-consistently to all orders, and the effects of occupied negative-energy states in the Dirac sea are included.

Antikaon and antiproton production in nucleus-nucleus collisions with relativistic quantum molecular dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the antikaon and antiproton productions in nucleus-nucleus collisions at intermediate bombarding energies were studied using Relativistic quantum molecular dynamics (RQMD).

Effects of quark matter nucleation on the evolution of proto-neutron stars

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the nucleation process of quark matter in hot (T 0) β-stable hadronic matter, with and without trapped neutrinos, using a finite temperature equation of state (EOS) for hadronic and quark phases.

Mean-field approach in the multi-component gas of interacting particles applied to relativistic heavy-ion collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized mean-field approach for the thermodynamic description of relativistic single and multi-component gas in the grand canonical ensemble is formulated, and different phenomenological excluded-volume procedures are presented and compared to the existing ones.

Evidence for an enhanced nuclear magneton in nuclei from δgl anomalies; A modification of the nucleon's properties in nuclei

TL;DR: The effective nuclear magnetron in nuclei has been found to be (8±3)% larger than the free value from a careful analysis of the proton-neutron asymmetric effect of the observed δgl factors in the A=208 region as mentioned in this paper.

On Massive neutron cores

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the gravitational equilibrium of masses of neutrons, using the equation of state for a cold Fermi gas, and general relativity, and showed that for masses under 1/3, there are no static equilibrium solutions.

On Continued Gravitational Contraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the solutions of the gravitational field equations which describe the contraction of a heavy star, and give general and qualitative arguments on the behavior of the metrical tensor as the contraction progresses.
