We study the medium modifications of baryon properties in nuclear many-body systems, especially in $\Lambda$ hypernuclei. The nucleon and the $\Lambda$ hyperon are described in the Friedberg-Lee model as nontopological solitons which…

High energy heavy-ion collisions in laboratory produce a form of matter that can test Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, at high temperatures. One of the exciting possibilities is the existence of…
Recent cross section (e,e'pN) short-range correlation experiments have clearly shown the strong dominance of tensor correlations for (e,e'p) missing momenta greater than the Fermi momentum; while recent D(e,e'p)n and 4He(e,e'p)t asymmetry…

Rare decays of beauty and charm hadrons offer a rich playground to make precise tests of the Standard Model and look for New Physics at the level of quantum corrections. A review of recent LHCb results will be presented.
There exist several effective interactions whose parameters are fitted to force mean field predictions to reproduce experimental findings of finite nuclei and calculated properties of infinite nuclear matter. Exploiting this tecnique one…
We give a simple, semianalytic theory of the development of the hadronic and neutrino/muon components of a cascade induced by a primary which produces hadrons at the initial interaction. The main purpose of the theory is to allow the user…
The thermodynamics of hot and dense matter created in heavy-ion collision experiments are usually studied as a system of infinite volume. Here we report on possible effects for considering a finite system size for such matter in the…
