Description of light clusters in relativistic nuclear models

Abstract

Light clusters are included in the equation of state of nuclear matter within the relativistic mean field theory. The effect of the cluster-meson coupling constants on the dissolution density is discussed. Theoretical and experimental constraints are used to fix the cluster-meson couplings. The relative light cluster fractions are calculated for asymmetric matter in chemical equilibrium at finite temperature. It is found that above T = 5 MeV deuterons and tritons are the clusters in larger abundances. The results do not depend strongly on the relativistic mean field interaction chosen.
