The nucleon thermal width due to pion-baryon loops and its contribution in Shear viscosity
In the real-time thermal field theory, the standard expression of shear
viscosity for the nucleonic constituents is derived from the two point function
of nucleonic viscous stress tensors at finite temperature and density. The
finite thermal width or Landau damping is traditionally included in the nucleon
propagators. This thermal width is calculated from the in-medium self-energy of
nucleon for different possible pion-baryon loops. The dynamical part of
nucleon-pion-baryon interactions are taken care by the effective Lagrangian
densities of standard hadronic model. The shear viscosity to entropy density
ratio of nucleonic component decreases with the temperature and increases with
the nucleon chemical potential. However, adding the contribution of pionic
component, total viscosity to entropy density ratio also reduces with the
nucleon chemical potential when the mixing effect between pion and nucleon
components in the mixed gas is considered. Within the hadronic domain,
viscosity to entropy density ratio of the nuclear matter is gradually reducing
as temperature and nucleon chemical potential are growing up and therefore the
nuclear matter is approaching toward the (nearly) perfect fluid nature
