We derive the equation of state of symmetric nuclear matter in a relativistic theory with $\sigma$ and $\omega$ exchange. We take a chiral version of this model which insures all the chiral constraints. Going beyond the mean field approach…

We study dark matter, assumed to be composed by weak interacting massive particles (WIMPs), scattering off ${}^2$H and ${}^4$He nuclei. In order to parameterize the WIMP-nucleon interaction the chiral effective field theory approach is…
We derive from the subleading contributions to the chiral three-nucleon force (short-range terms and relativistic corrections, published in Phys. Rev. C84, 054001 (2011)) a density-dependent two-nucleon interaction $V_\text{med}$ in…
We show how the renormalization group is used to construct a low-momentum nucleon-nucleon interaction V_{low k}, which unifies all potential models used in nuclear structure calculations. V_{low k} can be directly applied to the nuclear…
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…

The aim of this work is to develop the relevant formalism for performing coupled-cluster (CC) calculations in nuclear matter and neutron star matter, including thereby important correlations to infinite order in the interaction and testing…
We have calculated the properties of nuclear matter in a self-consistent manner with quark-meson coupling mechanism incorporating structure of nucleons in vacuum through a relativistic potential model; where the dominant confining…
We use chiral perturbation theory to compute the effective nucleon propagator in an expansion about low density in the chiral limit. We neglect four-nucleon interactions and focus on pion exchange. Evaluating the nucleon self-energy on its…
