We review theoretical approaches to explore the phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter at high baryon density. We first look over the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and address how to describe various states of QCD…
We study the phase diagram of (large-$N_c$) QCD using a simplistic holographic hard-wall model with a dynamical scalar field and a homogeneous Ansatz representing a smeared instanton/baryon density. The resulting phase diagram is…
We describe a new exact relation for large $N_c$ QCD for the long-distance behavior of baryon form factors in the chiral limit, satisfied by all 4D semi-classical chiral soliton models. We use this relation to test the consistency of the…
Using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, we study nuclear matter from the point of view of quark degrees of freedom. Performing a re-definition of the scalar field in matter, we transform QMC to a QHD-type model with a non-linear scalar…
We present a lattice simulation study of large $N_c$ regularities of meson and baryon spectroscopy in $SU(N_c)$ gauge theory with two flavors of dynamical fundamental representation fermions. Systems investigated include $N_c=2$, 3, 4, and…
A potential model for the interaction between a charmed baryon ($\Lambda_c$, $\Sigma_c$, and $\Sigma_c^*$) and the nucleon ($N$) is constructed. The model contains a long-range meson ($\pi$ and $\sigma$) exchange part and a short-distance…
An analysis of nuclear properties based on a relativistic energy functional containing Dirac nucleons and classical scalar and vector meson fields is discussed. Density functional theory implies that this energy functional can include…
We establish the interrelation between the QCD scalar response of the nuclear medium and its response to a scalar probe coupled to nucleons, such as the scalar meson responsible for the nuclear binding. The relation that we derive applies…
We discuss a relativistic chiral theory of nuclear matter with $\sigma$ and $\omega$ exchange using a formulation of the $\sigma$ model in which all the chiral constraints are automatically fulfilled. We establish a relation between the…
The effects of internal quark structure of baryons on the composition and structure of neutron star matter with hyperons are investigated in the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model is based on mean-field description of…
The quark-hadron phase transition at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is investigated in an extended NJL model with scalar-vector eight-point interaction by comparing the pressure of symmetric nuclear matter with that of the…
For decades the primary experimental goal in studies of hadronic parity nonconservation (PNC) has been the isolation of the isovector weak nucleon-nucleon interaction, expected to be dominated by long-range pion exchange and enhanced by the…
In order to better understand the fundamental issue regarding the compatibility between the quark-shell picture and that of resonances in meson-nucleon scattering in large $N_c$ QCD we extend the work of Cohen and Lebed on mixed symmetric…
The problem of hadronic cluster production in quark-hadron phase transition in heavy-ion collisions is studied by cellular automata. Previous result on the scaling behavior is extended to include variation in the drift speed. It is also…
We establish a connection between the quark model results and the $1/N_c$ expansion mass formula used in the description of baryon resonances. We show that a remarkable compatibility exists between the two methods.
We discuss the potential of the experimental programme at NICA to investigate the QCD phase diagram and particularly the position of the critical line at large baryon-chemical potential with accurate measurements of particle multiplicities.…
Removal of the quenched approximation in the mechanism which produced an analytic estimate of quark-binding potentials, along with a reasonable conjecture of the color structure of the nucleon formed by such a binding potential, is shown to…
Nucleus-nucleus interaction is studied in the framework of the perturbative QCD with large number of colours and a fixed coupling constant. The pomeron tree diagrams are summed by an effective field theory. The classical field equations are…
We discuss properties of QCD with variable and large $N_c$, taking into account electroweak interactions; i.e., we analyze the generalization of the standard model based on the gauge group $G={\rm SU}(N_c) \times {\rm SU(2)}_L \times {\rm…
