We investigate the modification of meson spectral densities in dense nuclear matter at zero temperature. These effects are studied in a fully relativistic mean field model which goes beyond the linear density approximation and also includes…
Two-nucleon momentum distributions are calculated for the ground states of nuclei with mass number $A\leq 8$, using variational Monte Carlo wave functions derived from a realistic Hamiltonian with two- and three-nucleon potentials. The…
We examine how nuclear masses are related to the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Using a macroscopic nuclear model we calculate nuclear masses in a way dependent on the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter. We find by…

If a family symmetry exists so that all three neutrinos have equal Majorana masses (via the seesaw mechanism), then the breaking of this symmetry from charged-lepton masses (via two-loop double $W$ exchange) implies $\Delta m$ less than…

The crust of a neutron star is essentially determined by the low-density region ($\rho<\rho_0\approx0.15-0.16\unit{fm}^{-3}$) of the equation of state. At the bottom of the inner crust, where the density is $\rho\lesssim0.1\rho_0$, the…
The in-medium mass of the $\eta^{\prime}$ meson is discussed in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. The $\eta^{\prime}$ mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV at the saturation density. The…

Using an energy density functional (EDF) based on the thermodynamic Gibbs-Duhem relation, found equivalent to the standard Skyrme EDF for infinite nuclear matter, it is demonstrated that the parameters of this EDF are not uniquely…
A light front treatment of the nuclear wave function is developed and applied, using the mean field approximation, to infinite nuclear matter. The nuclear mesons are shown to carry about a third of the nuclear plus momentum; but their…
Nuclear systems under constraints, with high degrees of symmetries and/or collectivities may be considered as moving effectively in spaces with reduced spatial dimensions. We first derive analytical expressions for the nucleon specific…
We investigate nuclear matter, i.e. the nuclear equation-of-state (EOS) as well as the relativistic mean fields in the chiral limit. The investigations are based on a chiral nucleon-nucleon EFT interaction where the explicit and implicit…
The most accurate approach to determine the compressibility of nuclear matter remains the one based on microscopic Energy Density Functionals (EDFs). Recent analyses yield a value for nuclear incompressibility modulus $K_\sat=240\pm…
A relation among the effective nucleon mass $M^*$, the incompressibility $K$ and the effective $\sigma$-meson mass $m_{\rm s}^*$ in nuclear matter is studied by using the relativistic nuclear model. We found that there is a strong…
The self-energy of an eta meson in the nuclear medium is calculated in a chiral unitary approach. A coupled channel Bethe-Salpeter equation is solved to obtain the effective eta-N interaction in the medium. The base model reproduces well…
We calculate the $^1S_0$ pairing gap in nuclear matter by adopting the "in-medium Bonn potential" proposed by Rapp et al. [e-print nucl-th/9706006], which takes into account the in-medium meson mass decrease, as the particle-particle…
A very simple empirical neutrino mass formula is found, implying the mass proportion $m_1 : m_2 : m_3 = 1 : 4 : 24(1-\beta^2)$. For the value $\beta = (5-1)(5-3)/5^2 = 8/25$ the formula predicts precisely $\Delta m^2_{21} \sim 8.0\times…
Proton-nucleus collisions, where the beam proton gets excited to the delta resonance and then decays to p$\pi ^+$, either inside or outside the nuclear medium, are studied. Cross-sections for various kinematics for the (p,p$' \pi ^+$)…
