Thermal Properties of a Hot Pion Gas beyond the Quasiparticle Approximation

Nuclear Theory 2016-09-08 v2

Abstract

Within the Matsubara formalism we derive expressions for the pion self-energy and the two-pion propagator in a hot pion gas. These quantities are used to selfconsistently calculate the in-medium ππ\pi\pi amplitude beyond the quasiparticle approximation (QPA). The results are shown to differ significantly from QPA-based calculations. We also examine the impact of chiral constraints on the ππ\pi\pi interaction in a chirally improved version of the J\"ulich ππ\pi\pi model.
