Phase transition of the nucleon-antinucleon plasma at different ratios

Abstract

We investigate phase transitions for the Walecka model at very high temperatures. As is well known, depending on the parametrization of this model and for the particular case of a zero chemical potential (μ \mu ), a first order phase transition is possible \cite{theis}. We investigate this model for the case in which μ0 \mu \ne 0 . It turns out that, in this situation, phases with different values of antinucleon-nucleon ratios and net baryon densities may coexist. We present the temperature versus antinucleon-nucleon ratio as well as the temperature versus the net baryon density for the coexistence region. The temperature versus chemical potential phase diagram is also presented.
