Generalized Beth–Uhlenbeck approach to dense quark matter

We develop the general formalism, allowing to study baryon formation and dissociation at finite temperatures and chemical potentials within the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. To recover the Walecka model of nuclear matter at low temperatures, where mesons and diquarks are absent, the derivation of generalized gap equations is mandatory.
