The mass shift, width broadening, and spectral density for the $\omega$ meson in a heat bath of nucleons and pions is calculated using a general formula which relates the self-energy to the forward scattering amplitude. We use experimental…
It is widely discussed in the literature that the wave function of the nucleon bound in a nucleus is modified due to the interaction with the surrounding medium. We argue that the modification should strongly depend on the momentum of the…

We derive density-dependent corrections to the in-medium nucleon-nucleon interaction from the leading-order chiral three-nucleon force. To this order there are six distinct one-loop diagrams contributing to the in-medium nucleon-nucleon…
