Hadron Liquid with a Small Baryon Chemical Potential at Finite Temperature

Abstract

First, within one diagram of $\Phi$ we discuss general properties of a system of heavy fermions of one kind (including antiparticles) interacting with rather light bosons of one kind. Fermion chemical potential is assumed to be small, $μ_f \lsim T$. Already for the low temperature, $T\ll min(T_{bl.f},m_b)$, the fermion mass shell proves to be partially blurred due to multiple fermion rescatterings on virtual bosons, $m_b$ is the boson mass, $T_{bl.f}$ $(\ll m_f)$ is the typical temperature corresponding to a complete blurring of the gap between fermion-antifermion continua, $m_f$ is the fermion mass. As the result, the ratio of the number of fermion-antifermion pairs to the number provided by the ordinary Boltzmann distribution becomes larger than unit ($R_N>1$). For $T\gsim m_{b}^* (T)$ (hot hadron liquid, blurred boson continuum), $m_b^{\ast }(T)$ is the effective boson mass, the abundance of all particles dramatically increases. The effective fermion mass $m_f^{\ast }(T)$ decreases with the temperature increase. For $T\gsim T_{\rm bl.f}$ fermions are essentially relativistic particles. Due to the interaction of the boson with fermion-antifermion pairs, $m_b^{\ast }(T)$ decreases leading to the possibility of the ``hot Bose condensation'' for $T>T_{cb}$. The phase transition might be of the second order or of the first order depending on the species under consideration. We estimate $R_N\sim 1.5$ for $T\sim m_{\pi }/2$; $T_{bl.f}$ proves to be near $T_{cb}$; both values are in the vicinity of the pion mass $m_{\pi }$.
