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 compute the energy per particle of infinite symmetric nuclear matter from chiral N3LO (next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order) two-body potentials plus N2LO three-body forces. The low-energy constants of the chiral three-nucleon force…

The Quark-Meson-Coupling model, which self-consistently relates the dynamics of the internal quark structure of a hadron to the relativistic mean fields arising in nuclear matter, provides a natural explanation to many open questions in low…
Although neutron stars have been studied for decades, their internal structure remains enigmatic, mainly due to large uncertainties in the equation of state. In neutron stars, the nucleons are strongly interacting by exchanging mesons,…
The low-energy neutron-Sigma^- interactions determine, in part, the role of the strange quark in dense matter, such as that found in astrophysical environments. The scattering phase shifts for this system are obtained from a numerical…
The properties of $\Lambda$-hyperons in pure $\Lambda$ matter are studied with the finite-density QCD sum rule approach. The first order quark and gluon condensates in $\Lambda$ nuclear matter are deduced from the chiral perturbation…
We study the effect of the density-dependent axial and vector form factors on the electro-neutrino ($\nu_e$) and anti-neutrino $({\bar \nu}_e)$ reactions for a nucleon in nuclear matter or in $^{12}$C. The nucleon form factors in free space…
The nucleon spectral function in nuclear matter fulfills an energy weighted sum rule. Comparing two different realistic potential, these sum rules are studied for Green's functions that are derived self-consistently within the $T$ matrix…
Most nuclear physics ranges from insensitive to relatively insensitive to many-nucleon forces. The dominant ingredient in calculations of nuclear properties is the nucleon-nucleon potential. Three-nucleon forces nevertheless play an…

We report on the recent developments of a new effective field theory for nuclear matter [1,2,3]. We present first the nuclear matter chiral power counting that takes into account both short-- and long--range inter-nucleon interactions. It…
We have used the notion of the constituent quark model of nucleon, where a constituent quark carries its own internal structure, and applied it to determine nuclear structure functions ratios. It is found that the description of…
