Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the energy of the monopole resonance is proportional to the square root of the compression modulus of finite nuclei K A, which is a regular function of K ∞ and is a possible way of reaching the compressibility of nuclear matter.

TL;DR: The separated structure functions for large-momentum-transfer electron-nucleus scattering in the quasielastic region can be fitted by assuming that the effect of nuclear matter on nucleon structure is to increase the nucleon charge radius some 30%, and to quench the anomalous moments.
Abstract: The separated structure functions for large--momentum-transfer electron-nucleus scattering in the quasielastic region can be fitted by assuming that the effect of nuclear matter on nucleon structure is to increase the nucleon charge radius some 30%, and to quench the anomalous moments. These effects are consistent with a field-theoretic description of nucleon and nuclear structure.

TL;DR: In this article, the ground-state properties of a set of even-even nuclei are predicted using a Lagrangian whose QCD-scaled coupling constants are all natural (dimensionless and of order one).
Abstract: We present results obtained in the calculation of nuclear ground-state properties in relativistic Hartree approximation using a Lagrangian whose QCD-scaled coupling constants are all natural (dimensionless and of order one). Our model consists of four-, six-, and eight-fermion point couplings (contact interactions) together with derivative terms representing, respectively, two-, three-, and four-body forces and the finite ranges of the corresponding mesonic interactions. The coupling constants have been determined in a self-consistent procedure that solves the model equations for representative nuclei simultaneously in a generalized nonlinear least-squares adjustment algorithm. The extracted coupling constants allow us to predict ground-state properties of a much larger set of even-even nuclei to good accuracy. The fact that the extracted coupling constants are all natural leads to the conclusion that QCD scaling and chiral symmetry apply to finite nuclei.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamic properties of hot, dense matter are examined in the density range 10 −5 fm −3 ⩽ n⩽ 0.35 fm−3 and the temperature range 0 −2 T −21 MeV, for fixed lepton fractions Y l = 0.4, 0.3 and 0.2.
