In this work we review the role of hyperons on the properties of neutron and proto-neutron
stars. In particular, we revise the so-called “hyperon puzzle”, go over some of the solutions …

The article reviews the physics related to kaon and antikaon production in heavy ion
reactions at intermediate energies. Chiral dynamics predicts substantial modifications of the …

We study the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using the quark–
meson coupling (QMC) model. The QMC model is based on a mean field description of non …

We show that the D− meson will form narrow bound states with 208 Pb. Mean-field
potentials for the D 0, D 0, and D− in 208 Pb are calculated self-consistently using the quark …

A new density dependent effective baryon–baryon interaction has been recently derived
from the quark–meson-coupling (QMC) model, offering impressive results in application to …

We review the role and properties of hyperons in finite and infinite nuclear systems. In
particular, we present different production mechanisms of hypernuclei, as well as several …

In our quest to win a deeper understanding of how QCD actually works, the study of the
binding of heavy quarkonia and heavy-flavor hadrons to atomic nuclei offers enormous …

We study exclusive vector meson photoproduction, $\gamma p\to V+ p $ with $ V= J/\psi $ or
ϒ, at next-to-leading order (NLO) in collinear factorisation, in order to examine what may be …

Selected topics in strangeness nuclear physics are critically reviewed. This includes
production, structure and weak decay of Λ-Hypernuclei, the ̄ K nuclear interaction and the …

Abstract The Quark–Meson-Coupling model, which self-consistently relates the dynamics of
the internal quark structure of a hadron to the relativistic mean fields arising in nuclear …
