Particle production in quantum transport theories
Abstract
Description
The particle production in the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions is discussed in the framework of the nonequilibrium Green's functions formalism. The evolution equations of the Green's functions for fermions allows for the discussion of the off-shell fermion propagator and of the large momentum component in the initial state. For the case of a homogeneous system numerical calculations of the meson production rate are performed and compared with the semiclassical production rate.
