TLDR
In this paper, Schur's Lemma and Orthogonality Relations are used for partial wave and fermion problems. But they do not specify the relationship between the two functions.

Cosmic abundances of stable particles: Improved analysis

TL;DR: An exact relativistic single-integral formula for the thermal average of the annihilation cross section times velocity, the key quantity in the determination of the cosmic relic abundance of a species, is obtained in this paper.

Unitarity limits on the mass and radius of dark-matter particles

TL;DR: Using partial wave unitarity and the observed density of the Universe, it is show that a stable elementary particle which was once in thermal equilibrium cannot have a mass greater than 340 TeV.

Formation of Superdense Hadronic Matter in High-Energy Heavy-Ion Collisions

TL;DR: A newly developed relativistic transport model for high energy heavy-ion collisions shows that in central collisions there exists a large volume of sufficiently long-lived superdenseHadronic matter whose local baryon and energy densities exceed the critical densities for the hadronic matter to quark-gluon plasma transition.

Pionic modes of excitation in nuclei

TL;DR: A unified treatment of pionic nuclear excitations both at low energy (ω«m π ) and at scattering energies (mπ ≲ ω ≲ 3 m π) is presented in this article.

Nucleons, mesons and deltas in nuclear-matter - a relativistic dirac-brueckner approach

B Terhaar, +1 more
- 01 May 1987 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic Dirac-Brueckner approach was used to study the properties of both dense and hot symmetric nuclear matter, and the saturation point was found to lie on a Coester line which goes through the empirical value for nuclear matter.
