Abstract

The effects of the presence of -isobars in nuclear matter are studied in the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. The existence of stable nuclei at saturation density imposes constraints on the -isobar self-energy and thereby on the mean-field coupling constants of the scalar and vector mesons with -isobars. The range of possible values for the scalar and vector coupling constants of -isobars with respect to the nucleon coupling is investigated and compared to recent predictions of QCD sum-rule calculations.
