We consider strong interactions at finite density in mean field theory, through an effective lagrangian that can describe both nuclear matter and quark matter. This lagrangian has three couplings that are all fixed by experiment and no…

We employ the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio, linear-$\sigma$ models, and the density-dependent model with chiral limits to work out the mean fields and relevant properties of nuclear matter. To have the constraint from the data, we reexamine…
We develop a general framework to study KKbar threshold phenomena with resonances f0, a0 and K+K- atom included. Based on this formalism we predict that the production of the K+K- atom in p+d=3He+X and similar reactions exhi- bits a drastic…
