Scalar field in nuclear matter: the roles of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and nucleon structure
G. Chanfray, M. Ericson
Chiral theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking such as the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model lead to the existence of a scalar mode. We present in a detailed manner how the corres…
Chiral symmetry, scalar field and confinement : from nucleon structure to nuclear matter
G. Chanfray, M. Ericson
We discuss the relevance of the scalar modes appearing in chiral theories with spontaneous symmetry breaking such as the NJL model for nuclear matter studies. We show that it depen…
Scalar response of the nucleon chiral symmetry and nuclear matter properties
G. Chanfray, M. Ericson
In this talk we present a description of nuclear binding in a chiral approach based on the existence of a chiral invariant scalar field associated with the generation of the masses…
Neutrino and antineutrino quasielastic interactions with nuclei
M. Martini, M. Ericson, G. Chanfray +1
We investigate the interaction of neutrinos and antineutrinos with nuclei. We explore in particular the role played by the multinucleon excitations which can contaminate the quasie…
Proton Decay: Improving the sensitivity through nuclear dynamics?
M. Alvioli, O. Benhar, M. Ericson +1
The kinematics of the decay of a bound proton is governed by the proton spectral function. We evaluate this quantity in 16O using the information from nuclear physics experiments.…
