Als das kontradiktorisch Andere des Lebens wird gewöhnlich der Tod oder auch das Unbelebte gesetzt. Eine Biologiegeschichte der Vergeschlechtlichungen von Lebenskonzepten kann aber noch ein weiteres, etwas schräg zu dieser Gegensatzachse angeordnetes Konzeptpaar herausstellen: die aus sich selbst zeugende Materie, die einer nicht selbst zeugungsfähigen, zu belebenden Materie gegenübersteht. Die erstgenannte Materieart kann mit dem gewohnten Terminus 'lebend' oder 'lebendig' bezeichnet werden, aber in Bezug auf den zweiten Modus von Materie passen Begriffe wie 'tot', 'unbelebt' oder 'lebendig' nicht. Dieser zweite Zustand wird vielmehr als ein zwischen Leben und Tod vermittelnder und changierender wissenschaftlich ausgestaltet, oder genauer: als ein Zustand zwischen Handlungsfreiheit und Naturverfallenheit. Dieses Konzeptpaar - nennen wir es hilfsweise zunächst das Lebendige und seine lebensfähige Ressource - steht außerdem weniger in einem polaren als eher in einem hierarchischen Verhältnis zueinander und durchläuft, so wird in einem kurzen Abriss zu zeigen sein, eine mit dem gesellschaftlichen Geschlechterverhältnis korrespondierende Kulturgeschichte.
Homogeneous nucleation of quark gluon plasma, finite size effects and longlived metastable objects
(1998)
The general formalism of homogeneous nucleation theory is applied to study the hadronization pattern of the ultra-relativistic quark-gluon plasma (QGP) undergoing a first order phase transition. A coalescence model is proposed to describe the evolution dynamics of hadronic clusters produced in the nucle- ation process. The size distribution of the nucleated clusters is important for the description of the plasma conversion. The model is most sensitive to the initial conditions of the QGP thermalization, time evolution of the energy den- sity, and the interfacial energy of the plasma hadronic matter interface. The rapidly expanding QGP is first supercooled by about T = T Tc = 4 6%. Then it reheats again up to the critical temperature Tc. Finally it breaks up into hadronic clusters and small droplets of plasma. This fast dynamics occurs within the first 5 10 fm/c. The finite size e ects and fluctuations near the critical temperature are studied. It is shown that a drop of longitudinally expanding QGP of the transverse radius below 4.5 fm can display a long-lived metastability. However, both in the rapid and in the delayed hadronization scenario, the bulk pion yield is emitted by sources as large as 3 4.5 fm. This may be detected experimentally both by a HBT interferometry signal and by the analysis of the rapidity distributions of particles in narrow pT -intervals at small |pT | on an event-by-event basis.

We derive the relativistic quantum transport equation for the pion distribution function based on an effective Lagrangian of the QHD-II model. The closed-time-path Green s function technique and the semiclassical, quasiparticle, and Born approximations are employed in the derivation. Both the mean field and collision term are derived from the same Lagrangian and presented analytically. The dynamical equation for the pions is consistent with that for the nucleons and Delta's which we developed before. Thus, we obtain a relativistic transport model which describes the hadronic matter with N,Delta, and pi degrees of freedom simultaneously. Within this approach, we investigate the medium effects on the pion dispersion relation as well as the pion absorption and pion production channels in cold nuclear matter. In contrast to the results of the nonrelativistic model, the pion dispersion relation becomes harder at low momenta and softer at high momenta as compared to the free one, which is mainly caused by the relativistic kinetics. The theoretically predicted free piN->Delta cross section is in agreement with the experimental data. Medium effects on the piN->Delta cross section and momentum-dependent Delta-decay width are shown to be substantial. PACS-numbers: 24.10.Jv, 13.75.Cs, 21.65.1f, 25.75.2q
The effects of internal quark structure of baryons on the composition and structure of neutron star matter with hyperons are investigated in the quark- meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model is based on mean-field description of nonoverlapping spherical bags bound by self-consistent exchange of scalar and vector mesons. The predictions of this model are compared with quantum hadrodynamic (QHD) model calibrated to reproduce identical nuclear matter saturation properties. By employing a density dependent bag constant through direct coupling to the scalar field, the QMC model is found to exhibit identical properties as QHD near saturation density. Furthermore, this modified QMC model provides well-behaved and continuous solutions at high densities relevant to the core of neutron stars. Two additional strange mesons are introduced which couple only to the strange quark in the QMC model and to the hyperons in the QHD model. The constitution and structure of stars with hyperons in the QMC and QHD models reveal interesting di erences. This suggests the importance of quark structure e ects in the baryons at high densities.
