The main aim of the thesis is to study the properties of nuclear matter, i.e., finite nuclei to infinite nuclear matter, at zero and finite temperature within effective field theory motived relativistic mean-field model by using some of the…
The problem of understanding the nuclear effects observed in lepton-nucleus deep-inelastic-scattering (the EMC effect) is still with us. Standard nuclear models (those using only hadronic degrees of freedom) are not able to account for the…
The one-dimensional harmonic oscillator in a box problem is used to introduce the concept of an oblique-basis shell-model theory. The method is applied to nuclei by combining traditional spherical shell-model states with SU(3) collective…
Minkowski functionals have recently been introduced into cosmology as novel tools for studying the large-scale distribution of matter in the Universe. We present a brief overview of the method, including its mathematical foundations as well…
The classical Minkowski formula is extended to spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in spacetimes which admit "hidden symmetry" from conformal Killing-Yano two-forms. As an application, we obtain an Alexandrov type theorem for spacelike…
The configuration-interaction shell model approach provides an attractive framework for the calculation of nuclear level densities in the presence of correlations, but the large dimensionality of the model space has hindered its application…
We compute the vacuum polarisation correction to the binding energy of nuclear matter in the Walecka model using a nonperturbative approach. We first study such a contribution as arising from a ground state structure with baryon-antibaryon…
The propagation of sigma meson in nuclear matter is studied in the Walecka model, assuming that the sigma couples to a pair of nucleon-antinucleon states and to particle-hole states, including the in medium effect of sigma-omega mixing. We…
We analyze the ability of the three different Liquid Drop Mass (LDM) formulas to describe nuclear masses for nuclei in various deformation regions. Separating the 2149 measured nuclear species in eight sets with similar quadrupole…
A set of relativistic mean field models is constructed including the Hartree and Hartree-Fock approximation accounting for the exchange of isoscalar and isovector mesons as well as the pion. Density dependent coupling functions are…
New classes of exact M(em)brane solutions in M+2 dimensional Minkowski space are presented (some describing non-trivial topology changes, while others explicitly avoid finite-time singularity formation)
New liquid drop model with the isospin-square dependence of the volume and surface energy terms is applied to reproduce experimentally known masses of nuclei with number of protons and neutrons larger or equal to twenty. The ground-state…
The possibility of physics beyond the standard model is studied. The requirement of finiteness of the zero point energy density and pressure or the requirement of the Lorentz invariance of the zero point stress-energy tensor in Minkowski…
Properties of the 1S0 superfluid phase are studied for symmetric nuclear matter at finite temperature. It is described within a covariant hadronic field model, of the sigma-omega type, with addition of density dependent correlations…
We extend the polaron variational treatment previously developed for the propagator to the case where one nucleon and $n$ external mesons are present. Using the particle representation of the scalar Wick-Cutkosky model this is done in…
We report the first use of the effective QMC energy density functional (EDF), derived from a quark model of hadron structure, to study a broad range of ground state properties of even-even nuclei across the periodic table in the…
The broken pair model has been developed earlier as an useful approximation to the nuclear shell model for even-even nuclei. It is extended and developed here to include odd nuclei too. The model is then applied successfully in the Zr…
Relativistic Hartree equations for spherical nuclei have been derived from a relativistic quark model of the structure of bound nucleons which interact through the (self-consistent) exchange of scalar ($\sigma$) and vector ($\omega$ and…
We describe the development of a theoretical description of the structure of finite nuclei based on a relativistic quark model of the structure of the bound nucleons which interact through the (self-consistent) exchange of scalar and vector…
We study the modification of hadron masses due to the vacuum polarization using the chiral sigma model, which is extended to generate the $\omega$ meson mass by the sigma condensation in the vacuum in the same way as the nucleon mass. The…
