An Effective Lagrangian Approach to Nuclei
R. J. Furnstahl, Hua-Bin Tang
The construction of a general effective lagrangian consistent with the symmetries of QCD and intended for applications to finite-density systems is discussed. The low-energy struct…
Analysis of Chiral Mean-Field Models for Nuclei
R. J. Furnstahl, Brian D. Serot, Hua-Bin Tang
An analysis of nuclear properties based on a relativistic energy functional containing Dirac nucleons and classical scalar and vector meson fields is discussed. Density functional…
The Gluon Condensate and Running Coupling of QCD
Hua-Bin Tang, R. J. Furnstahl
An expression for the photon condensate in quantum electrodynamics is presented and generalized to deduce a simple relation between the gluon condensate and the running coupling co…
Vacuum Contributions in a Chiral Effective Lagrangian for Nuclei
R. J. Furnstahl, Hua-Bin Tang, Brian D. Serot
A relativistic hadronic model for nuclear matter and finite nuclei, which incorporates nonlinear chiral symmetry and broken scale invariance, is presented and applied at the one-ba…
