Transport Simulations with Pi and Delta In-Medium Properties
  Transport simulations including in-medium properties derived in a microscopic pi + nucleon-hole + delta-hole model in infinite nuclear matter are presented. In-medium pion dispersion relations, partial delta decay widths, pion absorption cross sections and delta cross sections are incorporated into the transport description by means of a local-density approximation. Strong modifications of pi and delta production and absorption rates are found, but only small effects on pion observables.
