Phase diagram of bosonic matter with additional derivative interaction

Abstract

Equation of state of uncharged bosonic matter is studied within a field-theoretical approach in the mean-field approximation. Interaction of bosons is described by a scalar field $\ddot{I}ƒ$ with a Skyrme-like potential which contains both attractive and repulsive terms. Additionally we introduce the derivative interaction by including factor $(1+\hat{I}»\ddot{I}ƒ{)}^{-1}$ in the kinetic part of Lagrangian where $\hat{I}»>0$ is the model parameter. Numerical calculations are made for strongly interacting matter composed of $\hat{I}\pm$ particles. It is shown that ground-state binding energy and equilibrium density of such matter drop with increasing $\hat{I}»$. The liquid-gas phase transition and the Bose-Einstein condensation are studied by using different thermodynamic variables. We calculate also spinodal lines which give boundaries of metastable states. It is demonstrated that critical temperature decreases with $\hat{I}»$. Both LGPT and bound condensate states disappear above certain maximum value of $\hat{I}»$.
