Abstract

A mechanism leading to density isomerism in nuclear matter is proposed. The density isomer is produced by the excitation of baryonic degrees of freedom. A self-consistent relativistic model that accounts for known bulk properties of symmetric nuclear matter is explicitlyconstructed, in which the density isomer occurs at about three times normal density. Thermal excitations are considered.
