Isospin and momentum dependence of liquid-gas phase transition in hot asymmetric nuclear matter
arXiv:0711.1717 · doi:10.1142/S0218301308010891
Abstract
The liquid-gas phase transition in hot neutron-rich nuclear matter is investigated within a self-consistent thermal model using different interactions with or without isospin and/or momentum dependence. The boundary of the phase-coexistence region is shown to be sensitive to the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy as well as the isospin and momentum dependence of the nuclear interaction.
