Abstract

The finite temperature and finite density dependence of the neutron-proton mass difference is analyzed in a purely hadronic framework where the \ensuremath{\rho}-\ensuremath{\omega} mixing is crucial for this isospin symmetry breakdown. The problem is handled within thermofield dynamics. The present results, consistent with partial chiral and charge symmetry restoration, improve the experimental data fit for the energy difference between mirror nuclei. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.
