Friedel Oscillations in Relativistic Nuclear Matter
We calculate the low-momentum N-N effective potential obtained in the OBE
approximation, inside a nuclear plasma at finite temperature, as described by
the relativistic - model. We analyze the screening effects
on the attractive part of the potential in the intermediate range as density or
temperature increase. In the long range the potential shows Friedel-like
oscillations instead of the usual exponential damping. These oscillations arise
from the sharp edge of the Fermi surface and should be encountered in any
realistic model of nuclear matter.Comment: 11 pages in preprint format, typeset using REVTEX, 3 included figures
