Abstract:
In the relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (RQMD) approach baryons are described within the framework of covariant hamilton constraint dynamics. The inclusion of a relativistic mean field results in a quasiparticle picture for the baryons. This requires to distinguish between canonical and kinetic variables of the particles. As resonances we include the Δ\Delta(1232) and the N N~*(1440) resonance. The resonance masses are distributed according Breit-Wigner functions. However, the scalar self energy leads to a shift in the masses and introduces an additional medium dependence. Consequences of this description on resonance and pion dynamics are discussed.
