We start from free space NN-interactions and derive in-medium self-energies by Dirac-Brueckner theory. By the DDRH procedure we derive in a self-consistent approach density- dependent meson-baryon vertices. At the mean-field level, we include isoscalar and isovector scalar and vector interactions. The nuclear equation of state is investigated for a large range of total baryon densities up to the neutron star regime, the full range of asymmetries from symmetric nuclear matter to pure neutron matter, and temperatures up to T~100 MeV. The isovector-scalar self-energies are found to modify strongly the thermal properties of asymmetric nuclear matter. A striking result is the change of phase transitions when isovector-scalar self-energies are included.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-08-12T20:40:27.000Z", "comment": "29 pages, 23 figures, 3 tables", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2015-03-01T21:24:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.65.-f", "21.30.Fe", "21.60.-n" ], "keywords": [ "asymmetric nuclear matter", "thermal properties", "isovector-scalar self-energies", "dependent meson-baryon vertices", "free space nn-interactions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevC.91.034307", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2015, "month": "Mar", "volume": 91, "number": 3, "pages": "034307" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1305670, "adsabs": "2015PhRvC..91c4307F" } } }
