We develop a model of off-mass-shell pairing correlations in nuclear systems, which is based on the meson-exchange picture of nuclear interactions. The temporal retardations in the model are generated by the Fock-exchange diagrams. The…

Nuclear matter is modeled directly in terms of its constituent quarks. A many-body string-flip potential is used that confines quarks within hadrons, enables the hadrons to separate without generating van der Waals forces, and is symmetric…
Nuclear matter and neutron stars are studied in the framework of an extended relativistic mean-field (RMF) model with higher-order derivative and density dependent couplings of nucleons to the meson fields. The derivative couplings lead to…
