contents We investigate the quasi-particle and transport properties of a model describing interacting Dirac and Weyl semimetals in the presence of local Hubbard repulsion $U$, where we explicitly include a deviation from the linearity of the energy-momentum dispersion through an intermediate-energy scale $Λ$. Our focus lies on the correlated phase of the semimetal. At the nodal point, the renormalization of spectral weight at a fixed temperature $T$ exhibits a weak dependence on $Λ$ but is sensitive to the proximity to the Mott transition. Conversely, the scattering rate of quasi-particles and the resistivity display high-temperature exponents that crucially rely on $Λ$, leading to a crossover towards a conventional Fermi-liquid behaviour at finite T. Finally, by employing the Nernst-Einstein relation for conductivity, we identify a corresponding density crossover as a function of the chemical potential.
