The relativistic mean field approach, within a theoretical framework known as the chiral confining model incorporating chiral symmetry breaking and quark confinement effects, is applied for the first time to finite nuclei. Model parameters…
Partial restoration in nuclear matter of the chiral symmetry of QCD is discussed together with some of its possible signals. Estimates of corrections to the leading, linear dependence of the quark condensate are found to be small, implying…
Due to the internal structure of the nucleon, we should expect, in general, that the effective meson nucleon parameters may change in nuclear medium. We study such changes by using a chiral confining model of the nucleon. We use…
