Meson-nucleon vertex form factors at finite temperature - art. no. 024907

In this paper the dependence of meson-nucleon-nucleon vertex form factors i s studied as a function of temperature. The results are obtained starting f rom a zero temperature Bonn potential. The temperature dependence of the ve rtex form factors and radii is studied in the thermofield dynamics, a real- time operator formalism of finite temperature field theory. It is anticipat ed that these results will have an impact on the study of relativistic heav y-ion collisions as the critical temperature for the phase transition from hadronic to quark-gluon system is approached.
