Self-consistent solution of Galitskii-Feynman equations at finite temperature

Abstract

We solve the in-medium T-matrix equation at finite temperature including the off-shell propagation of nucleons. In this way a self-consistent spectral function for the nucleons is obtained. The results are compared to a calculation using the quasiparticle approximation in the T-matrix equation. Also the effective in-medium cross sections for the two cases are compared.
