Abstract
The temperature dependence of σ and ω meson effective masses due to the presence of Δ-baryon has been studied. Starting from the Walecka model, containing both nucleon and Δ, the temperature dependence of effective masses of nucleon and Δ have been calculated at the Mean Field (MF) level. These results have been used to calculate the contribution to the effective masses of σ and ω from both [Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-loops in Random Phase Approximation (RPA). The results are quite interesting. The σ-meson mass increases due to the [Formula: see text] loop whereas it decreases due to [Formula: see text]-loop with temperature. Further, the change in σ-meson mass due to [Formula: see text]-loop is much more compared to that due to [Formula: see text]-loop. For the ω-meson, both the loops are responsible for the increase in mass with temperature.
