Relativistic Mean Field Approximation in a Density Dependent Parametrization Model at Finite Temperature
In this work we calculate the equation of state of nuclear matter for
different proton fractions at zero and finite temperature within the Thomas
Fermi approach considering three different parameter sets: the well-known NL3
and TM1 and a density dependent parametrization proposed by Typel and Wolter.
The main differences are outlined and the consequences of imposing
beta-stability in these models are discussed.Comment: 13 pages, 10 figure
Brueckner Rearrangement Effects in He and He
Rearrangement effects in light hypernuclei are investigated in the framework
of the Brueckner theory. We can estimate without detailed numerical
calculations that the energy of the -core is reduced by more than 2.5
MeV when the adheres to He to form He. Similar
assessment of rearrangement contributions is essential to deduce the strength
of interaction from experimentally observed . The recently observed experimental value of 1 MeV
for the of \hll suggests that the matrix element of
in \hll is around -2 MeV.Comment: 7 pages, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov Approach for Nuclear Matter with Non-Linear Coupling Terms
We investigate the pairing property of nuclear matter with Relativistic
Hartree-Bogoliubov(RHB) approach. Recently, the RHB approach has been widely
applied to nuclear matter and finite nuclei. We have extended the RHB approach
to be able to include non-linear coupling terms of mesons. In this paper we
apply it to nuclear matter and observe the effect of non-linear terms on
pairing gaps.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
The nuclear shell effects near the r-process path in the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory
We have investigated the evolution of the shell structure of nuclei in going
from the r-process path to the neutron drip line within the framework of the
Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) theory. By introducing the quartic
self-coupling of meson in the RHB theory in addition to the non-linear
scalar coupling of meson, we reproduce the available data on the shell
effects about the waiting-point nucleus Zn. With this approach, it is
shown that the shell effects at N=82 in the inaccessible region of the
r-process path become milder as compared to the Lagrangian with the scalar
self-coupling only. However, the shell effects remain stronger as compared to
the quenching exhibited by the HFB+SkP approach. It is also shown that in
reaching out to the extreme point at the neutron drip line, a terminal
situation arises where the shell structure at the magic number is washed out
significantly.Comment: 18 pages (revtex), 8 ps figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Modeling the strangeness content of hadronic matter
The strangeness content of hadronic matter is studied in a string-flip model
that reproduces various aspects of the QCD-inspired phenomenology, such as
quark clustering at low density and color deconfinement at high density, while
avoiding long range van der Waals forces. Hadronic matter is modeled in terms
of its quark constituents by taking into account its internal flavor (u,d,s)
and color (red, blue, green) degrees of freedom. Variational Monte-Carlo
simulations in three spatial dimensions are performed for the ground-state
energy of the system. The onset of the transition to strange matter is found to
be influenced by weak, yet not negligible, clustering correlations. The phase
diagram of the system displays an interesting structure containing both
continuous and discontinuous phase transitions. Strange matter is found to be
absolutely stable in the model.Comment: 14 pages, 1 table, 8 eps figures, revtex. Submitted to Phys. Rev. C,

Charge and critical density of strange quark matter
The electric charge of strange quark matter is of vital importance to
experiments. A recent investigation shows that strangelets are most likely
highly negatively charged, rather than slightly positively charged as
previously believed. Our present study indicates that negative charges can
indeed lower the critical density, and thus be favorable to the experimental
searches in heavy ion collisions. However, too much negative charges can make
it impossible to maintain flavor equilibrium.Comment: 4 pages, LATeX with REVTeX style, one PS figure. To be published in

A dynamical chiral bag model
We study a dynamical chiral bag model, in which massless fermions are
confined within an impenetrable but movable bag coupled to meson fields. The
self-consistent motion of the bag is obtained by solving the equations of
motion exactly assuming spherical symmetry. When the bag interacts with an
external meson wave we find three different kinds of resonances: {\it
fermionic}, {\it geometric}, and -resonances. We discuss the
phenomenological implications of our results.Comment: Two columns, 11 pages, 9 figures. Submitted to Physical Review
The extended, relativistic hyperon star model
In this paper an equation of state of neutron star matter which includes
strange baryons in the framework of Zimanyi and Moszkowski (ZM) model has been
obtained. We concentrate on the effects of the isospin dependence of the
equation of state constructing for the appropriate choices of parameters the
hyperons star model. Numerous neutron star models show that the appearance of
hyperons is connected with the increasing density in neutron star interiors.
Various studies have indicated that the inclusion of delta meson mainly affects
the symmetry energy and through this the chemical composition of a neutron
star. As the effective nucleon mass contributes to hadron chemical potentials
it alters the chemical composition of the star. In the result the obtained
model of the star not only excludes large population of hadrons but also does
not reduce significantly lepton contents in the star interior.Comment: 22 pages, revtex4, 13 figure
Chiral phase properties of finite size quark droplets in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model
Chiral phase properties of finite size hadronic systems are investigated
within the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. Finite size effects are taken into
account by making use of the multiple reflection expansion. We find that, for
droplets with relatively small baryon numbers, chiral symmetry restoration is
enhanced by the finite size effects. However the radius of the stable droplet
does not change much, as compared to that without the multiple reflection
expansion.Comment: RevTex4, 9 pages, 6 figures, to be published in Phys. Rev.
Strange Stars with a Density-Dependent Bag Parameter
We have studied strange quark stars in the framework of the MIT bag model,
allowing the bag parameter B to depend on the density of the medium. We have
also studied the effect of Cooper pairing among quarks, on the stellar
structure. Comparison of these two effects shows that the former is generally
more significant. We studied the resulting equation of state of the quark
matter, stellar mass-radius relation, mass-central-density relation,
radius-central-density relation, and the variation of the density as a function
of the distance from the centre of the star. We found that the
density-dependent B allows stars with larger masses and radii, due to
stiffening of the equation of state. Interestingly, certain stellar
configurations are found to be possible only if B depends on the density. We
have also studied the effect of variation of the superconducting gap parameter
on our results.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figs; v2: 25 pages, 9 figs, version to be published in
