Nucleon and hadron structure changes in the nuclear medium and the impact on observables

K Saito, K Tsushima, AW Thomas - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2007 - Elsevier
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 …

Hadron properties in the nuclear medium

RS Hayano, T Hatsuda - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
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 …

Charmed mesic nuclei: Bound D and states with

K Tsushima, DH Lu, AW Thomas, K Saito, RH Landau - Physical Review C, 1999 - APS
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 …

Nuclear-bound quarkonia and heavy-flavor hadrons

G Krein, AW Thomas, K Tsushima - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

On studying charm in nuclei through antiproton annihilation

A Sibirtsev, K Tsushima, AW Thomas - The European Physical Journal A …, 1999 - Springer
We examine the production of open charm in antiproton annihilation on finite nuclei. The
enhancement of the subthreshold production cross section, even in a nucleus as light as …

The quark-meson coupling model for Λ, Σ and Ξ hypernuclei

K Tsushima, K Saito, J Haidenbauer, AW Thomas - Nuclear Physics A, 1998 - Elsevier
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 …

Neutron star properties in the quark-meson coupling model

S Pal, M Hanauske, I Zakout, H Stöcker, W Greiner - Physical Review C, 1999 - APS
The effects of internal quark structure of baryons on the composition and structure of neutron
star matter with hyperons are investigated in the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model. The …

Are η-and ω-nuclear states bound?

K Tsushima, DH Lu, AW Thomas, K Saito - Physics Letters B, 1998 - Elsevier
We investigate theoretically whether it is feasible to detect η-and ω-nucleus bound states. As
well as the closed shell nuclei, 16O, 40Ca, 90Zr and 208Pb, we also investigate 6He, 11B …

In-medium kaon and antikaon properties in the quark-meson coupling model

K Tsushima, K Saito, AW Thomas, SV Wright - Physics Letters B, 1998 - Elsevier
The properties of the kaon, K, and antikaon, K ̄, in nuclear medium are studied in the quark-
meson coupling (QMC) model. Employing a constituent quark-antiquark (MIT bag model) …

and mesons in nuclear matter and nuclei

JJ Cobos-Martinez, K Tsushima - Physical Review C, 2024 - APS
We present updated and extended results for the η-and η′-nucleus bound state energies,
obtained by solving the Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon equations with complex optical …
