The Elastic $q\bar{q}$ Cross Section in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio Model

Abstract

We discuss the quark masses and the elastic $q\bar{q}$ cross sections at finite chemical potential in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We comment the generic features of the cross sections as functions of the chemical potential, temperature and collision energy. Finally, we discuss their relevance in the construction of a relativistic transport model for heavy-ion collisions based on this effective Lagrangian.
