We examine a hot pion gas by including medium modifications of the two-body scattering amplitude as well as mean-field effects selfconsistently. In contrast to earlier calculations, the in-medium T-matrix is rather close to the free one…
Based on a recent meson-exchange model for the vacuum $\pi\pi$ interaction we compute selfconsistently the in-medium $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude and pion selfenergy in a hot $\pi N\Delta$ gas. The contributions to the pion selfenergy are…
I discuss the absorption and dispersion of pions in hot matter. A two-loop calculation in the framework of chiral perturbation theory is presented and its result is compactly written in terms of the two- and three-particle forward $\pi \pi$…
Within the finite-temperature Greens-function formalism we study the equation of state of a hot interacting pion gas at zero chemical potential. Employing realistic $\pi\pi$ meson-exchange interactions we selfconsistently calculate the…
We construct effective one-loop vertices and propagators in the linear sigma model at finite temperature, satisfying the chiral Ward identities and thus respecting chiral symmetry, treating the pion momentum, pion mass and temperature as…
We consider an interacting pion gas in the regime where thermal but not chemical equilibrium has been reached. Approximate particle number conservation is implemented by a nonvanishing pion chemical potential $\mu_\pi$ within a diagrammatic…
The leading twist parametrization of dipion mass distribution in hard exclusive reactions is proposed. Its parameters are related to quark distributions (usual and skewed) in the pion and to distributions amplitudes of mesons ($\pi$,…
We investigate the shear viscosity of a pion gas in relativistic kinetic theory, using the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model to construct the pion mass and the pi-pi interaction at finite temperature. Whereas at low temperatures the scattering…
We describe how the thermal counterpart of a vacuum two-point function may be obtained in the real time formalism in a simple way by using directly the $2\times 2$ matrices that different elements acquire in this formalism. Using this…
The thermal conductivity of pionic medium has been evaluated with the help of its standard expression from the relaxation time approximation, where inverse of pion relaxation time or pion thermal width has been obtained from the imaginary…
We study the behavior of the pion dispersion relation in a pion medium at finite density and temperature. We introduce a pion chemical potential to describe the finite pion number density and argue that such description is valid during the…
The occurrence of poles in the $2\pi$ propagator in a hot pion medium is studied. The domain of non--trivial solutions to the corresponding bosonic gap equation is investigated as a function of the chemical potential and temperature of the…
The relativistic kinetic theory approach has been employed to study four well-known transport coefficients that characterize heat flow and diffusion for the case of a hot mixture constituting of nucleons and pions. Medium effects on the…
In-medium chiral perturbation theory is used to calculate the density dependence of the quark condensate $<\bar qq>$. The corrections beyond the linear density approximation are obtained by differentiating the interaction contributions to…
We determine the relative pion mass shift $M_\pi(L)/M_\pi-1$ due to the finite spatial extent $L$ of the box by means of two-flavor chiral perturbation theory and the one-particle L\"uscher formula. We use as input the expression for the…
Using a non-perturbative method based on the selfconsistent Quasi-particle Random-Phase Approximation (QRPA) we describe the properties of the pion in the linear $\sigma$-model. It is found that the pion is massless in the chiral limit,…
We use chiral perturbation theory for SU(2) to compute the leading corrections to the thermal mass of the pions and the pion decay constant in the presence of the magnetic field in a low-temperature expansion. The magnetic field gives rise…
We argue that the recent BaBar data on $\gamma \to \pi$ e.m. transition form factor at large photon virtuality supports the idea that pion distribution amplitude (DA) is close to unity with $\phi_\pi^\prime(0)/6\gg 1$ at a normalization…
We study thermal properties of a large-N massless pion gas using a low-energy QCD approach given by an $O(N +1)/O(N)$ Nonlinear Sigma Model. We build diagrammatically the associated finite free energy to $O(TM^{3})$ in the pion mass…
By using Chiral Perturbation Theory and the Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation we compute the viscosity of a pion gas, in the low temperature and low density regime, in terms of the temperature, and the pion fugacity. The viscosity turns out to be…
