Abstract
We test the compatibility of chiral symmetry, dynamic mass generation of the nucleon due to spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, and the description of finite nuclear systems by employing an NJL model understood as a chiral invariant effective theory for nucleons. We apply the model to nuclear matter as well as to finite nuclei. In the latter case, the model is adjusted to nuclear ground-state observables. We treat the case of a pure chiral theory and the physically more realistic case where a portion of the nucleon mass (160 MeV) explicitly breaks chiral symmetry. The best version of this current model is found to deliver reasonably good results simultaneously for both finite nuclei and the nucleon mass, which supports our motivation of probing a link between low-momentum QCD and the nuclear many-body problem. However, the observables calculated for finite nuclei are not as good as those coming from existing relativistic mean field models without explicit chiral symmetry.
