Scaling of nuclear modification factors for hadrons and light nuclei

Light Nuclei within Nuclear Matter

We investigate the properties of 3He, 4He, 6He, 7Li and 16O nuclei in nuclear matter of finite temperature and density. A Dyson expansion of the many-body Green function leads to few-body equations that are solved using the Integro-Differential Equation Approach (IDEA) and the Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (AMD) methods. The use of the latter method allows us to trace the individual moveme...

Form Factors for Semileptonic Decays of Heavy-Light Hadrons

In the quark mass M → ∞ limit, QCD has an exact SU(2Nf) spin-flavour symmetry. This symmetry relates many matrix elements and form factors of hadrons containing heavy quarks [2,3]. In particular, the semileptonic weak decay form factors of s−wave hadrons containing a single infinitely heavy quark can be reduced to two unknown functions, one for mesons (ξ) and another for baryons (ζ). The knowle...

Effective Field Theories for Hadrons and Nuclei

Hadron structure and nuclear structure are discussed from the common ground of effective chiral Lagrangians modeling QCD at low energy. The topics treated are the chiral bag model in large Nc QCD, its connection to heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBχPT), the role of nonabelian Berry gauge connections for baryon excitations and the application of HBχPT to the thermal n+p → d+γ process a...

Composite Hadrons and Relativistic Nuclei

EPJ A Hadrons and Nuclei

In the context of the Hagedorn temperature half-centenary I describe our understanding of the hot phases of hadronic matter both below and above the Hagedorn temperature. The first part of the review addresses many frequently posed questions about properties of hadronic matter in different phases, phase transition and the exploration of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The historical context of the di...
