Pseudoscalar Mesons in Asymmetric Matter
Abstract
The behavior of kaons and pions in hot non strange quark matter, simulating neutron matter, is investigated within the SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio [NJL] and in the Enlarged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio [ENJL] (including vector pseudo-vector interaction) models. At zero temperature, it is found that in the NJL model, where the phase transition is first order, low energy modes with K-, Pi+ quantum numbers, which are particle-hole excitations of the Fermi sea, appear. Such modes are not found in the ENJL model and in NJL at finite temperatures. The increasing temperature has also the effect of reducing the splitting between the charge multiplets.
