We show that even moderate excess of neutrons over protons in nuclear matter, such as in ${}^{208} Pb$, can lead to large $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing at densities of the order of twice the nuclear saturation density and higher. The typical…
We reexamine effects of the $\rho-\omega$ meson mixing mediated by nucleon polarizations on the symmetry energy in isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter. Taking into account the rearrangement term neglected in previous studies by others, we…
Using a purely hadronic model, we study the charge-symmetry-breaking $\rho$-$\omega$, $\sigma$-$\delta$, $\sigma$-$\rho$ and $\delta$-$\omega$ mixing amplitudes in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. The basic assumption of the model is that…
We study the possibility of $\rho-\delta$ mixing via N-N excitations in dense nuclear matter. This mixing induces a peak in the dilepton spectra at an invariant mass equal to that of the $\delta$. We calculate the cross section for dilepton…
We evaluate the operator product expansion (OPE) for a mixed correlator of the isovector and isoscalar vector currents in the background of the nucleon density with intrinsic isospin asymmetry [i.e. excess of neutrons over protons] and…
We calculate dispersion relations and propagators for the $\sigma$, $\omega$, $\rho$ and $\delta$ mesons in relativistic nuclear matter with a proton-neutron asymmetry. In addition to the $\sigma$-$\omega$ and $\delta$-$\rho$ mixings…

We investigate the splitting and mixing of $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons in nuclear matter. The calculations were performed on the basis of QCD sum rules and include all operators up to mass dimension-6 twist-4 and up to first order in the…
The nuclear symmetry energy characterizes the variation of the binding energy as the neutron to proton ratio of a nuclear system is varied. This is one of the most important features of nuclear physics in general, since it is just related…
Within a broad class of models we show that the amplitude for rho^0-omega mixing must vanish at the transition from timelike to spacelike four momentum. Hence in such models the mixing is either zero everywhere or is necessarily…
Interplay between the dependence of symmetry energy on density and the variation of nucleonic densities across nuclear surface is discussed. That interplay gives rise to the mass dependence of the symmetry coefficient in an energy formula.…
The LIGO-Virgo collaboration detection of the binary neutron-star merger event, GW170817, has expanded efforts to understand the Equation of State (EoS) of nuclear matter. These measurements provide new constraints on the overall pressure,…
Medium modification of pion form factor has been evaluated in asymmetric nuclear matter. It is shown that both the shape and the pole position of the pion form factor in dense asymmetric nuclear matter is different from its vacuum…
The apparent anomaly in the ratio of muon to electron atmospheric neutrinos first observed by Kamiokande and IMB has been confirmed by Super-Kamiokande and Soudan-2. The experimental analysis, including the asymmetry in the zenithal…
The role of the off-shell dependence of $\rho-\omega$ mixing in the charge symmetry breaking nucleon-nucleon potential is discussed. It is shown that models describing the off-shell dependence of $\rho-\omega$ mixing are not sufficient to…
A complete analysis of proton recoil asymmetry in neutron decay in the first order of radiative and recoil corrections is presented. The possible contributions from new physics are calculated in terms of low energy coupling constants, and…
For neutrino mixing we propose to use the parameter set $X_{i}$ $(=|V_{ei}|^{2})$ and $\Omega_{i}$ $(=\epsilon_{ijk}|V_{\mu j}|^{2}|V_{\tau k}|^{2})$, with two constraints. These parameters are directly measurable since the neutrino…
Two examples of ``exotic'' phenomena which become possible and important in the presence of nuclear matter are discussed: omega -> pi pi decay, and rho-omega mixing. Significance of these processes for the low-mass dilepton production in…
We estimate exclusive density and asymmetry parameter dependent dispersion relations of various charged states of pions in asymmetric nuclear matter. The possibility of matter induced mixing of $\pi^0$ with $\eta$ is clearly exposed with…
A brief review of the isospin symmetry breaking in hadrons and nuclei is given with emphasis on the $u-d$ quark mass difference. The off-shell $\rho^0-\omega$ mixing is studied as a typical example of the symmetry breaking, and its…
