QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

Strange quark matter and compact stars
F Weber - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2005 - Elsevier
Astrophysicists distinguish between three different kinds of compact stars. These are white
dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. The former contain matter in one of the densest forms …

Nuclei in a chiral SU (3) model
P Papazoglou, D Zschiesche, S Schramm… - Physical Review C, 1999 - APS
Nuclei can be described satisfactorily in a nonlinear chiral SU (3) framework, even with
standard potentials of the linear σ model. The condensate value of the strange scalar meson …

Nucleon and hadron structure changes in the nuclear medium and the impact on observables
K Saito, K Tsushima, AW Thomas - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2007 - Elsevier
We study the effect of hadron structure changes in a nuclear medium using the quark–
