$\rho$ - nucleus bound states in Walecka model

Abstract

Possible formation of $\rho$ nucleus bound state is studied in the framework of Walecka model. The bound states are found in different nuclei ranging from ${}^{3}He$ to ${}^{208}Pb$. These bound states may have a direct bearing on the recent experiments on the photoproduction of $\rho$ meson in the nuclear medium.
