We discuss properties of quark matter at finite baryon densities and zero temperature in a Vlasov approach. We use a screened interquark Richardson's potential consistent with the indications of Lattice QCD calculations. We analyze the…
It is shown that the Constant Temperature (CT) model of nuclear level density is a direct consequence of a symmetrized Poisson distribution of nuclear level spacings. The standard CT model describing the total level density is shown to be…

It has been suggested that chaotic motion inside the nucleus may significantly limit the accuracy with which nuclear masses can be calculated. Using a power spectrum analysis we show that the inclusion of additional physical contributions…
We reply to the Comment by Hatsuda and Lee on our recent paper "Meson Masses in Nuclear Matter" (Phys.Rev.Lett. 78, 1010, (1997)). We argue that, contrary to the claim in the Comment, the short distance operator product expansion is not…
We compute masses of $D$ mesons, $D_s$ mesons and charmonium states using Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. We present results for spin $J = 0,1,2,3$, parity $\mathcal{P} = -,+$ and in case of charmonium also charge conjugation $\mathcal{C}…
Recent NICER observation data on PSR J0030+0451 has recently added a unique mass-radius constraint on the properties of the superdense nuclear matter existing in the interior of compact stars. Such a macroscopic data restrict further the…
We have analyzed the latest NA50 data on $J/\psi$ suppression in Pb + Pb collisions. $J/\psi$ production is assumed to be a two step process, (i) formation of $c\bar{c}$ pair, which is accurately calculable in QCD and (ii) formation of…
Heavy quarkonium is one of the key candidates to study the fundamental properties of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in heavy-ion ($A$+$A$) collisions. Comparing the production of the $J/\psi$ meson in proton+proton ($p$+$p$) and $A$+$A$…
The composition of hot and dense nuclear matter is calculated including the $1p$-shell nuclei $4 \le A \le 16$. In-medium shifts, in particular Pauli blocking, are determined by the intrinsic wave function of the nuclei. Results are given…
Spectral functions of the pseudoscalar $D$ meson in the nuclear medium are analyzed using QCD sum rules and the maximum entropy method. This approach enables us to extract the spectral functions without any phenomenological assumption, and…
We consider the $J/\Psi$ suppression at a high energy heavy ion collision. An ideal gas of massive hadrons in thermal and chemical equilibrium is formed in the central region. The finite-size gas expands longitudinally in accordance with…
We investigate the possible thermodynamic instability in a warm and dense nuclear medium (T<50 MeV and \rho_0<\rho_B< 3\rho_0) where a phase transition from nucleonic matter to resonance-dominated Delta-matter can take place. The analysis…
The in-medium mass and decay width of the $\phi$ meson in the hot asymmetric strange hadronic matter are calculated using an effective Lagrangian approach for $\phi$ $K\bar K$ interaction. The in-medium contributions of $K \bar K$ loop to…
The measured ratios $R(x,A_1/A_2)$ for $J/\Psi$, $\Psi'$ and $\mu^+\mu^-$ production on two different targets $A_1, A_2$ as a function of the fractional momentum $x$ of the final state are well fit with a very simple functional form having…

Using a self-consistent quark model for nuclear matter we investigate variations of the masses of the non-strange vector mesons, the hyperons and the nucleon in dense nuclear matter (up to four times the normal nuclear density). We find…
For the first time, we estimate the in-medium mass shift of the two-flavored heavy mesons $B_c, B_c^*, B_s, B_s^*, D_s$ and $D_s^*$ in symmetric nuclear matter. The estimates are made by evaluating the lowest order one-loop self-energies.…
We calculate the $^1S_0$ pairing gap in nuclear matter by adopting the "in-medium Bonn potential" proposed by Rapp et al. [e-print nucl-th/9706006], which takes into account the in-medium meson mass decrease, as the particle-particle…
