New AdS/QCD backgrounds have been proposed to describe the spectrum of heavy vector mesons via the implementation of additional energy scales on the bulk geometry of the soft wall model. The extra energy scales are needed to include the…
We consider a geometric zero-radius limit for strings on $AdS_5\times S^5$, where the anti-de Sitter hyperboloid becomes the projective lightcone. In this limit the fifth dimension becomes nondynamical, yielding a different "holographic"…
We present results of hydrodynamic modelling of Au-Au collisions from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7 to 200 GeV. Our simulations have three novel components. Firstly, we use a Linear EXtrapolation of Ultrarelativistic nucleon-nucleon Scattering to…
Relativistic mean field calculations of multi-$\bar{K}$ hypernuclei are performed by adding $K^-$ mesons to particle-stable configurations of nucleons, $\Lambda$ and $\Xi$ hyperons. For a given hypernuclear core, the calculated $\bar{K}$…
We solve two-dimensional large-N QCD in the presence of a nonzero baryon number B, and for arbitrary quark mass m and volume L. We fully treat the dynamics of the gluonic zero modes and check how this affects results from previous studies…
The effect of strange interactions in neutron star matter and the role of the strange meson-hyperon couplings are studied in a relativistic quark model where the confining interaction for quarks inside a baryon is represented by a…
We propose a bilocal field theory for mesons in two dimensions obtained as a kind of non local bosonization of two dimensional QCD. Its semi-classical expansion is equivalent to the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD. Using an ansatz we reduce the…
The Nijmegen extended-sft-core ESC08c model for the baryon-baryon (BB) interactions of the SU(3) flavor-octet of baryons ($N, \Lambda, \Sigma$, and $\Xi$) is presented. In this first of a series of papers, the NN results are reported in…
The one solitary boson exchange potential (OSBEP) is used to evaluate observables of NN elastic scattering below pion threshold. In this approach, we use a nonlinear model of self-interacting mesons as a substitution for the commonly used…
Even--even nuclei in the $A\sim100$ mass region are investigated within the framework of the interacting boson model-1 ({IBM-1}). The study includes energy spectra and electric quadrupole transition properties of zirconium, molybdenum,…
In this work, I discuss neutron stars with hyperons and anti-kaon condensate. To fix their coupling constants with the vector mesons of the Quantum Hadrodynamics, I use a unified scheme imposing that the Yukawa coupling is an invariant…
We present results for the scalar and tensor isovector-couplings ($g_S$ and $g_T$) of the nucleon measured at the physical point ($M_{\pi}=135$ MeV) with a single lattice spacing of $0.085\ \mathrm{fm}$ in 2+1 flavor QCD. Our calculations…
We investigate the structure of the SU(3) octet and decuplet baryons employing a constituent quark model designed for the study of the baryon-baryon interaction and successfully applied to the meson spectra. The model considers through the…
Within the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion of four-fermion interaction models, we analyse the next to leading $1/N_c$ corrections to the well known large-$N_c$ result $M_S=2M_Q$ where $M_S$ is the mass of the scalar boson and $M_Q$ is…
The $^1S_0$ pairing in neutron matter has been investigated in presence of realistic two-- and three--nucleon interactions. We have adopted the Argonne $v_{8^\prime}$ NN and the Urbana IX 3N potentials. Quantum Monte Carlo theory,…
Three versions of the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model are applied to describe properties of nuclear matter and finite nuclei. The models differ in the treatment of the bag constant and in terms of nonlinear scalar self-interactions. As a…

We present a holographic dual of four-dimensional, large N_c QCD with massless flavors. This model is constructed by placing N_f probe D8-branes into a D4 background, where supersymmetry is completely broken. The chiral symmetry breaking in…
An accurate assessment of the hyperon-nucleon interaction is of great interest in view of recent observations of very massive neutron stars. The challenge is to build a realistic interaction that can be used over a wide range of masses and…
