Hadrons At Finite Temperature

Informationen zum Autor Samirnath Mallik is an Emeritus Scientist at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics. He previously worked at the University of Bern, the University of Karlsruhe and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. His research interests are thermal field theory and heavy ion collisions. Klappentext An elementary introduction to hadronic properties at finite temperature and density that develops real-time methods of thermal field theory. Zusammenfassung This book offers an elementary introduction to hadronic properties at finite temperature and density for graduate students and researchers. Developing real-time methods of thermal field theory! this self-contained text examines the applications of these to thermal properties of hadrons! including heavy ion collisions and transport processes.
