Kaons production at finite temperature and baryon density in an effective relativistic mean field model

TL;DR

This paper studies kaon production in hot, dense nuclear matter using a relativistic mean-field model that includes baryons and their interactions, comparing different theoretical schemes and potentials.

Contribution

It introduces a comprehensive relativistic mean-field approach for kaon production considering full baryon octet and self-consistent interactions, extending previous models.

Findings

Kaon production rates depend on the effective chemical potential and baryon interactions.

Different anti-kaon optical potentials significantly affect kaon yields.

The model's predictions vary with the chosen coupling schemes and potential values.

Abstract

We investigate the kaons production at finite temperature and baryon density by means of an effective relativistic mean-field model with the inclusion of the full octet of baryons. Kaons are considered taking into account of an effective chemical potential depending on the self-consistent interaction between baryons. The obtained results are compared with a minimal coupling scheme, calculated for different values of the anti-kaon optical potential.
