Caloric curve for finite nuclei in relativistic models

Nuclear Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

In this work we calculate the caloric curve (excitation energy per particle as a function of temperature) for finite nuclei within the non--linear Walecka model for different proton fractions. It is shown that the caloric curve is sensitive to the proton fraction. Freeze-out volume effects in the caloric curve are also studied.
