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

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized mean-field approach for thermodynamic description of relativistic single and multi-component gas in the grand canonical ensemble is formulated and compared to the existing ones, which effectively include hard-core repulsion in hadron-resonance gas model for description of chemical freeze-out in heavy-ion collisions.

The pion-nucleon interaction in a relativistic Hartree-Fock theory of nuclear matter☆

TL;DR: In this paper, relativistic Hartree-Fock equations for nuclear matter are solved for both pseudoscalar and pseudovector pion-nucleon couplings, and results are very sensitive to the form of the interaction due to the relativism nature of the self-consistent baryon spectrum.

How Deep is the Antinucleon Optical Potential at FAIR energies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the non-linear derivative (NLD) model to antinucleon interactions in nuclear matter and find a strong decrease of the vector and scalar self-energies in energy and density and thus a strong suppression of the optical potential at zero momentum.

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.
