The in-medium partial decay widths of $Upsilon (4S) rightarrow Bbar B$ in magnetized asymmetric nuclear matter are studied using a field theoretic model for composite hadrons with quark/antiquark constituents. The medium modifications of the decay widths of $Upsilon (4S)$ to $Bbar B$ pair in magnetized matter, arise due to the mass modifications of the decaying $Upsilon (4S)$ as well as of the produced $B$ and $bar B$ mesons. The effects of the anomalous magnetic moments for the proton and neutron are taken into consideration in the present investigation. The presence of the external magnetic field is observed to lead to different mass modifications within the $B (B^+, B^0)$ as well as the $bar B (B^-, bar {B^0})$ doublets, even in isospin symmetric nuclear matter, due to the difference in the interactions of the proton and the neutron to the electromagnetic field. This leads to difference in the upsilon decay widths to the neutral ($B^0 bar {B^0}$) and the charged ($B^+ B^-$) pairs in the magnetized symmetric nuclear matter. The isospin asymmetry is observed to lead to quite different behaviours for the $Upsilon (4S)$ decay widths to the charged and neutral $Bbar B$. In the presence of the magnetic field, the Landau level contributions give rise to positive shifts in the masses of the charged $B$ and $bar B$ mesons. This leads to the decay of $Upsilon(4S)$ to the charged $B^+ B^-$ to be suppressed as compared to the neutral $Bbar B$ pair, especially at low densities. This may lead to suppression in the production of the charged $B^pm$ mesons as compared to the neutral $B^0$ and $bar {B^0}$ mesons at LHC and RHIC.

We study the partial decay widths of the charmonium states ($J/psi$, $psi(3686)$, $psi(3770)$, $chi_{c0}$, $chi_{c2}$) to $Dbar D$ ($D^+D^-$ or $D^0bar {D^0}$) in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter, in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The in-medium partial decay widths of charmonium states to $Dbar D$ are calculated within a light quark--antiquark pair creation model, namely the $^3P_0$ model, using the in--medium masses of the charmonia as well as $D$ and $bar D$ mesons in the magnetized nuclear matter obtained within a chiral effective model. The presence of a magnetic field leads to Landau quantization of the energy levels of the proton in the nuclear medium. The effects of magnetic field and isospin asymmetry on the charmonium decay widths to $Dbar D$ are found to be quite prominent. The effects of the anomalous magnetic moments have also been taken into consideration for obtaining the in-medium masses of these heavy flavour mesons, used to calculate the partial decay widths of the charmonium states. The medium modifications of the charmonium decay widths can have observable consequences on the production of the charmed mesons in high energy asymmetric heavy ion collision experiments.
The medium modifications of the open charm mesons ($D$ and $bar D$) are studied in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in the presence of strong magnetic fields, using a chiral effective model. The mass modifications of these mesons in the effective hadronic model, arise due to their interactions with the protons, neutrons and the scalar mesons (non-strange isoscalar $sigma$, strange isoscalar, $zeta$ and non-strange isovector, $delta$), in the magnetized nuclear matter. In the presence of magnetic field, for the charged baryon, i.e., the proton, the number density as well as the scalar density have contributions due to the summation over the Landau energy levels. For a given value of the baryon density, $rho_B$, and isospin asymmetry, the scalar fields are solved self consistently from their coupled equations of motion. The modifications of the masses of the $D$ and $bar D$ mesons are calculated, from the medium modifications of the scalar fields and the nucleons. The effects of the anomalous magnetic moments of the nucleons on the masses of the open charm mesons are also investigated in the present work. The effects of isospin asymmetry as well as of the anomalous magnetic moments are observed to be prominent at high densities for large values of magnetic fields.
The decay widths of the charmonium states to $Dbar D$ in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in the presence of a magnetic field are studied, using a field theoretical model for composite hadrons with quark/antiquark constituents. The medium modifications of these partial decay widths arise due to the changes in the masses of the decaying charmonium state and the produced $D$ and $bar D$ mesons in the magnetized hadronic matter, calculated within a chiral effective model. The decay widths are computed using the light quark--antiquark pair creation term of the free Dirac Hamiltonian in terms of the constituent quark field operators. The results of the present investigation are compared with the in-medium decay widths obtained within the $^3P_0$ model. Within the $^3P_0$ model, the charmonium decay widths are calculated using the creation of a light quark--antiquark pair in the $^3P_0$ state. In the presence of a magnetic field, the Landau level contributions give rise to positive shifts in the masses of the charged $D$ and $bar D$ mesons. This leads to the decay of charmonium to the charged $D^+ D^-$ to be suppressed as compared to the neutral $Dbar D$ pair in symmetric nuclear matter, whereas in asymmetric nuclear matter, the larger mass drop of the $D^+D^-$ pair, as compared to the $D^0 bar {D^0}$ pair leads to the production of charged open charm meson pairs to be enhanced as compared to the charmonium decay channel to $D^0 {bar {D^0}}$.
The existence of phase transitions from liquid to gas phases in asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) is related with the instability regions which are limited by the spinodals. In this work we investigate the instabilities in ANM described within relativistic mean field hadron models, both with constant and density dependent couplings at zero and finite temperatures. In calculating the proton and neutron chemical potentials we have used an expansion in terms of Bessel functions that is convenient at low densities. The role of the isovector scalar $delta$-meson is also investigated in the framework of relativistic mean field models and density dependent hadronic models. It is shown that the main differences occur at finite temperature and large isospin asymmetry close to the boundary of the instability regions.
The quark-meson-coupling model is used to study droplet formation from the liquid-gas phase transition in cold asymmetric nuclear matter. The critical density and proton fraction for the phase transition are determined in the mean field approximation. Droplet properties are calculated in the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The electromagnetic field is explicitly included and its effects on droplet properties are studied. The results are compared with the ones obtained with the NL1 parametrization of the non-linear Walecka model.
