Including Thermal Mesons and Meson Resonances in the Chiral Mean-Field Equation of State

The Chiral Mean-Field (CMF) model describes dense matter in terms of baryons and quarks interacting through scalar and vector meson mean fields. In the mean-field approximation, the meson fields are replaced by their expectation values. Their role in generating interactions and in-medium properties is retained, but exp...
