Abstract

The electromagnetic(EM) interactions between charged protons on the correlations of nucleons are discussed by introducing the Anderson-Higgs mechanism of broken U(1) EM symmetry into the relativistic nuclear theory with a parametric photon mass. The non-saturating Coulomb force contribution is emphasized on the equation of state of nuclear matter with charge symmetry breaking(CSB) at finite temperature and the breached 1S0^1S_0 pairing correlations of proton-proton and neutron-neutron. The universal properties given by an order parameter field with a non-zero vacuum expectation value (VEV) nearby phase transition are explored within the mean field theory(MFT) level. This mechanism can be extended to the charged or charge neutralized strongly coupling multi-components system for the discussion of binding or pairing issues.
