Linear Sigma Model at Finite Temperature and Baryonic Chemical Potential Using the Midpoint Technique

Abstract

A baryonic chemical potential is included in the linear sigma model at finite temperature. The effective mesonic potential is numerically calculated using the midpoint technique. The meson masses are investigated as functions of the temperature at fixed value of baryonic chemical potential. The pressure and energy density are investigated as functions of temperature at fixed value of chemical potential. The obtained results are in good agreement in comparison with other techniques. We conclude that the calculated effective potential successfully predicts the meson properties and thermodynamic properties at finite baryonic chemical potential.
