Abstract
The mass shift Delta m(N) of a nucleon in the finite temperature pion gas is calculated in the case of an arbitrary nucleon momentum. A gene ral formula is used which relates the in-medium mass shift Delta m(E) of a particle to the real part of the forward scattering amplitude Re f(E) of this particle on the constituents of the medium and its applic ability domain is formulated. The mass shift of the nucleon in thermal equilibrium with the pion gas is also calculated. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
