D. Anchishkin et E. Suhonen, GENERALIZATION OF MEAN-FIELD MODELS TO ACCOUNT FOR EFFECTS OF EXCLUDED-VOLUME, Nuclear physics. A, 586(4), 1995, pp. 734-754
Phenomenological mean-field models of nuclear interactions are general
ized to the case where the mean fields depend not only on the density
but also on the temperature. As an application of a general formalism
we extend the Walecka model to account for hard-core nuclear repulsion
. The effects of this modification on the phase boundary between the h
adron matter and the quark-gluon plasma are considered.
