Mesons in Asymmetric Hot and Dense Hadronic Matter

Figure 1

The various contributions to the meson energies, , in nuclear matter, plotted as functions of baryonic density in units of the nuclear saturation density (). In each case, the isospin asymmetric situation (), as described in the legend, is also compared against the symmetric situation (), represented by dotted lines.
