Nuclear Energy Density Functionals Constrained by Low-Energy QCD

A microscopic framework of nuclear energy density functionals is reviewed, which establishes a direct relation between low-energy QCD and nuclear structure, synthesizing effective field theory methods and principles of density functional theory. Guided by two closely related features of QCD in the lowenergy limit: a) in-medium changes of vacuum condensates, and b) spontaneous breaking of chiral...

Nuclear Density Functional Constrained by Low-energy Qcd *

We have developed a relativistic point-coupling model of nuclear many-body dynamics constrained by the low-energy sector of QCD. The effective Lagrangian is characterized by density-dependent coupling strengths determined by chiral one-and two-pion exchange (with single and double delta isobar excitations) and by large isoscalar background fields that arise through changes of the quark conden-s...

A relativistic nuclear energy density functional is developed, guided by two important features that establish connections with chiral dynamics and the symmetry breaking pattern of low-energy QCD: a) strong scalar and vector fields related to inmedium changes of QCD vacuum condensates; b) the longand intermediate-range interactions generated by one-and two-pion exchange, derived from in-medium ...
