Kinetic description of hadronic plasma

A set of relativistic kinetic equations for the description of formation and evolution of hadronic plasma in high-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions has been derived on the basis of the Walecka mean field theory. The equations include the dynamics of relativistic self-consistent σ and ω fields and describe, in particular, the nuclear ground states with a satisfactory accuracy. The constructed collision integrals are expressed in terms of the inclusive hadron-hadron cross sections and enable one to describe the inelastic production of new particles in the nucleus-nucleus collision process
