We calculate the T-matrices of kaon-nucleon ($KN$) and antikaon-nucleon ($\overline{K}N$) scattering to one-loop order in SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HB$\chi$PT). The low-energy constants (LECs) and their combinations are…
Using a phenomenological \={K}N potential which reproduces $\Lambda$(1405) as an I=0 bound state of \={K}N, we investigated deeply bound kaonic nuclei, ppnK$^-$ and $^8$BeK$^-$, with the method of Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics. Our…

We construct a dynamical model for the parton distributions in a nucleus by perturbative evolution of input distributions from a low starting scale. These input distributions are obtained by modifications of the corresponding free nucleon…

Using effective field theory we prove inequalities for the correlations of two-nucleon operators in low-energy symmetric nuclear matter. For physical values of operator coefficients in the effective Lagrangian, the S = 1, I = 0 channel…
A consistent microscopic diagrammatic approach is applied for the first time to the calculation of the nucleon emission spectra in the non-mesonic weak decay of Lambda-hypernuclei. We adopt a nuclear matter formalism extended to finite…

The s-wave meson-baryon interaction is studied using the lowest-order chiral Lagrangian in a unitary coupled-channels Bethe-Salpeter equation. In the strangeness $S=-1$ sector the low-energy $K^- p$ dynamics leads to the dynamical…
We present recent progress on the properties of antikaons in nuclei and dense nuclear matter as obtained from two {\bar K}N interaction models: one based on the lowest-order meson-baryon chiral lagrangian and the other derived from a…
We constrain the $S$-wave baryon-baryon interaction using SU(6) symmetry within a nonrelativistic effective field theory. The most general leading-order Lagrangian contains two independent parameters, which we determine using physical $NN$…
