Caloric curve for finite nuclei in relativistic models
arXiv:nucl-th/0109042 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.64.044306
Abstract
In this work we calculate the caloric curve (excitation energy per particle as a function of temperature) for finite nuclei within the non--linear Walecka model for different proton fractions. It is shown that the caloric curve is sensitive to the proton fraction. Freeze-out volume effects in the caloric curve are also studied.
