Abstract: (APS)
Within the framework of the relativistic Dirac-Brueckner approach, the equation of state of nuclear matter is studied on the basis of a one-boson-exchange interaction. The saturation properties of the ground state and its compressional energy are calculated. The model is extended to nonzero temperature by use of finite-temperature Green's functions for the dressed nucleons. Isotherms in a P−ρ diagram are obtained which show the existence of a liquid-vapor phase equilibrium below a critical temperature of Tc≃12 MeV.
