We summarize the current theoretical and experimental status of the spectral change of the vector mesons in dense matter.
Astrophysical and cosmological arguments and observations give us the most restrictive constraints on neutrino masses, electromagnetic couplings, and other properties. Conversely, massive neutrinos would contribute to the cosmic dark-matter…
We calculate the effect of many-body interactions in nuclear matter on the spectral function of $\rho$ and $\omega$ meson. In particular, we focus on the role played by baryon resonances in this context.
We calculate the effective mass m_\omega^* of the \omega-meson in nuclear medium by the \sigma-\omega model with a vector field self-interaction (VFSI). We found that the direct and the indirect effects of the VFSI almost cancel each other…
Neutrinos play an important role in compact star astrophysics: neutrino-heating is one of the main ingredients in core-collapse supernovae, neutrino-matter interactions determine the composition of matter in binary neutron star mergers and…
Using the Crystal Barrel(CB)/TAPS detector system at the ELSA accelerator facility in Bonn the \eta' photoproduction off nuclei (C, Ca, Nb and Pb) was studied via the hadronic decay channel \eta' -> \pi^0\pi^0\eta . Recent results on the…

The accurate measurement of neutron skin thickness of $^{208}$Pb by the PREX Collaboration suggests a large value of the nuclear symmetry energy slope parameter, $L$, whereas the smaller $L$ is preferred to account for the small…
Light but massive cosmological neutrinos do not cluster significantly on small scales, due to their high thermal velocities. With finite masses, cosmological neutrinos become part of the total matter field and contribute to its smoothing.…
Relativistic mean field (RMF) theory of nuclear matter with the isovector scalar mean field corresponding to the delta-meson [a_0(980)] is studied. While the delta-meson mean field vanishes in symmetric nuclear matter, it can influence…
The clustering of nucleons is a fundamental phenomenon with broad implications for nuclear physics and astrophysics. In this work, we employ a microscopic in-medium few-body approach to systematically investigate the formation and…
Consequences of a new force mediated by a light scalar particle for neutrino oscillation experiments are considered. Such a force could give rise to neutrino masses and mixings whose matter dependence is much more significant than the MSW…
When an energetic parton traversing the QCD medium, it may suffer multiple scatterings and lose energy. This jet quenching phenomenon may lead to the suppression of leading hadron productions as well as medium modifications of full jet…
