We present a simple introduction to the techniques of effective field theory (EFT) and their application to QCD. For problems with more than one energy scale, the EFT approach is a useful alternative to more traditional model-building…

By using a $q$-calculus, the Walecka many-body field theory was studied in the context of the Tsallis framework. The most important aspect of the application of the $q$-calculus to the nonadditive formulation of QHD-I is that it naturally…
