Iterated and irreducible pion-photon exchange in nuclei

N. Kaiser

We calculate the contribution to the nuclear energy density functional which arises from iterated pion-photon exchange between nucleons. In heavy nuclei, this novel charge symmetry…

Three-body spin-orbit forces from chiral two-pion exchange

N. Kaiser

Using chiral perturbation theory, we calculate the density-dependent spin-orbit coupling generated by the two-pion exchange three-nucleon interaction involving virtual -isobar e…

Chiral approach to nuclear matter: Role of explicit short-range NN-terms

S. Fritsch, N. Kaiser

We extend a recent chiral approach to nuclear matter by including the most general (momentum-independent) NN-contact interaction. Iterating this two-parameter contact-vertex with i…

Exploring the nucleus in the context of low-energy QCD

Dario Vretenar, Wolfram Weise

These lecture notes address a central problem of theoretical nuclear physics: how to establish a relationship between low-energy, non-perturbative QCD and nuclear phenomenology whi…

Dilepton emission rates from hot hadronic matter

Thorsten Renk, Amruta Mishra

The vacuum polarisation effects from the nucleon sector lead to large medium modifications of the vector meson masses in the Walecka model. With a quantum hadrodynamic framework in…

Chaos and rotational damping in particle-rotor model

Javid A. Sheikh, Yang Sun

The onset of chaos and the mechanism of rotational damping are studied in an exactly soluble particle-rotor model. It is shown that the degree of chaoticity as inferred from the st…

Relativistic nuclear model with point-couplings constrained by QCD and chiral symmetry

P. Finelli, N. Kaiser, D. Vretenar +1

We derive a microscopic relativistic point-coupling model of nuclear many-body dynamics constrained by in-medium QCD sum rules and chiral symmetry. The effective Lagrangian is char…

Mean first passage time for fission potentials having structure

H. Hofmann, A. G. Magner

A schematic model of over-damped motion is presented which permits one to calculate the mean first passage time for nuclear fission. Its asymptotic value may exceed considerably th…

Spin symmetry in the anti-nucleon spectrum

Shan-Gui Zhou, Jie Meng, P. Ring

We discuss spin and pseudo-spin symmetry in the spectrum of single nucleons and single anti-nucleons in a nucleus. As an example we use relativistic mean field theory to investigat…

A note on the time evolution of the fission decay width under the influence of dissipation

H. Hofmann

The claim put forward in a recent paper by B. Jurado, K.-H. Schmidt and J. Benlliure that the transient effect of nuclear fission may be described simply as a relaxation process in…

Influence of microscopic transport coefficients on the formation probabilities for super-heavy elements

Christian Rummel, Helmut Hofmann

The formation probability is shown to increase by a few orders of magnitude if microscopic transport coefficients are used rather than those of the common macroscopic pictures. Qua…
