We calculate the nucleon parameters in symmetric nuclear matter employing the QCD sum rules approach. We focus on the average energy per nucleon and study the equilibrium states of the matter. We treat the matter as a relativistic system of…
We investigate the properties of hadronic matter and nuclei be means of a generalized $SU(3)\times SU(3)$ $\sigma$ model with broken scale invariance. In mean-field approximation, vector and scalar interactions yield a saturating nuclear…
It is thought that a region of pseudo-vacuum, where the chiral order parameter is misaligned from its vacuum orientation in isospin space, might occasionally form in high energy hadronic or nuclear collisions. The possible detection of such…
