The influence of $\delta$ meson on the isospin splitting of in-medium $NN\to N\Delta$ cross sections

Abstract

The isospin splitting of the in-medium $NN\rightarrow N\Delta$ cross sections in asymmetric nuclear medium are investigated in the framework of the one-boson exchange model by including $\delta$ and $\rho$ mesons. Our results show that the medium correction factors $R=\sigma_{ NN\rightarrow N\Delta}^*/\sigma_{NN\rightarrow N\Delta}^{\text{free}}$ have $R_{pp \to n\Delta ^{++}} < R_{nn \to p\Delta ^{-}}$ and $R_{NN \to N\Delta ^{+}} R_{nn \to p\Delta ^{-}}$ and $R_{NN \to N\Delta ^{+}} >R_{NN \to N\Delta ^{0}}$.
