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 …

The QCD vacuum shows the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry. In the hot and/or dense
QCD medium, the chiral order parameter such as⟨ q¯ q⟩ is expected to change as a …

Pulsars, generally accepted to be rotating neutron stars, are dense, neutron-packed
remnants of massive stars that blew apart in supernova explosions. They are typically about …

The duality between partonic and hadronic descriptions of physical phenomena is one of the
most remarkable features of strong interaction physics. A classic example of this is in …

Recent experiments studying the meson–nucleus interaction to extract meson–nucleus
potentials are reviewed. The real part of the potentials quantifies whether the interaction is …

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 …

The photoproduction of ω mesons on nuclei has been investigated using the Crystal
Barrel/TAPS experiment at the ELSA tagged photon facility in Bonn. The aim is to study …

Using the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model to describe the nucleon as a quark–diquark state, we
discuss the stability of nuclear matter in a hybrid model for the ground state at finite nucleon …

I make two comments about nuclear matter. First, I consider the effects of a coupling
between the O (4) chiral field, ϕ→, and the ω μ meson,∼+ ϕ→ 2 ω μ 2; for any net baryon …

The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which has been successfully used to describe the
properties of both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei, is applied to a systematic study of …
