The running of the $\rho\bar N N$ couplings in presence of nuclear matter is studied, and the relevant $\beta$-functions are shown to be different for $\rho^0$ and $\rho^+$, when the nuclear medium is asymmetric.
Charmed mesons in dense matter are studied within a unitary coupled-channel approach which takes into account Pauli-blocking effects and meson self-energies in a self-consistent manner. We obtain the open-charm meson spectral functions in…

In this talk we report on selected topics on hadrons in nuclei. The first topic is the renormalization of the width of the $\Lambda(1520)$ in a nuclear medium. This is followed by a short update of the situation of the $\omega$ in the…
We investigate the $D^*K^*$ and $D^*_s\rho$ interaction in coupled channels within the hidden gauge formalism. A structure is developed around their thresholds, short of producing a bound state, which leads to a peak in the $D_s^+ \pi^-$…

Coupled channels model of meson-baryon interactions based on the effective chiral Lagrangian is extended to account explicitly for the $\Sigma(1385)$ resonance that dominates the $P$-wave $\bar{K}N$ and $\pi\Sigma$ interactions at energies…
$K^-$ optical potentials relevant to calculations of $K^-$ nuclear quasi-bound states were developed within several chiral meson-baryon coupled-channel interaction models. The applied models yield quite different $K^-$ binding energies and…
We investigate the in-medium masses of a $\bar{D} (0^-)$ meson and a $\bar{D}_0^* (0^+)$ meson and spectral functions for $\bar{D}$ and $\bar{D}_0^*$ meson channels in nuclear matter. These mesons are introduced as chiral partner in the…
We calculate the in-medium $D$ and $\bar D$-meson masses in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in an effective chiral model. The $D$ and $\bar D$ - mass modifications arising from their interactions with the nucleons and the scalar mesons in…

Effective masses of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons in nuclear medium are studied in a hadronic effective theory. Both the pole position and the screening mass decrease in nuclear matter due to the polarization of the nucleon Dirac sea. The…
