Abstract
We point out that the effective fields in a heavy ion collision are not only momentum dependent, as e.g. the optical model, but also momentum space configuratio n dependent, leading to a double self consistency. The momentum configurations vary strongly in the evolution of a heavy ion collision and are very different from those of the ground state of nuclear matter. We discuss, this dependence in field theoretical models for thermalized and interpenetrating nuclear matter. We estimate the repulsive effects on the equation of state in these limiting cases and for heavy ion collisions. It is found that the effective equation of state in a heavy ion collision acquires considerable stiffness. We discuss ways to include this effect in realistic calculations of heavy ion collisions.
