Charge symmetry breaking effects of - mixing in relativistic mean-field model

arXiv:2506.06629 · doi:10.1140/epja/s10050-025-01699-y

Abstract

We present a relativistic mean-field model that incorporates charge symmetry breaking (CSB) of nuclear force via - meson mixing, along with corrections to the electromagnetic interaction including the nucleon form factors, first-order vacuum polarization, and Coulomb exchange and pairing terms. The model parameters are refitted using the mass differences of mirror nuclei and ground-state properties of magic nuclei, yielding DD-ME-CSB parameter set. The DD-ME-CSB parameter set reproduces the mass differences of mirror nuclei reasonably well up to , demonstrating the importance of - mixing. A connection of the present model to a Skyrme-type CSB interaction is also established through a gradient expansion of the energy density functional.
