Vacuum fluctuation effects on the {rho}-meson mass and the one-{rho} exchange potential at finite temperature and density

Journal Article · · Physical Review, C
Based on thermofield dynamics, the temperature- and density-dependent effective mass and screening mass of {rho} meson have been calculated. The effects of vacuum fluctuation corrections through effective nucleon mass are examined. We have shown that vacuum fluctuations give an important correction to the self-energy of the {rho} meson and lead to a reduction of the {rho}-meson mass in hot and dense matter. The temperature and density dependence of one-{rho}-meson exchange potential with vacuum fluctuation correction is also given. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
