Bose$ndash$Einstein condensation in dense nuclear matter and strong magnetic fields

Abstract

Bose-Einstein condensation of antikaons in cold and dense beta-equilibrated\nmatter under the influence of strong magnetic fields is studied within a\nrelativistic mean field model. For magnetic fields $> 5 \\times 10^{18}$G, the\nphase spaces of charged particles are modified resulting in compositional\nchanges in the system. The threshold density of $K^-$ condensation is shifted\nto higher density compared with the field free case. In the presence of strong\nfields, the equation of state becomes stiffer than that of the zero field case.\n
